When building, build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application, I get this...

Hey Mike,

Can you run the following and paste the output here:

rake db:migrate --trace

Yes, I will Thank you. But, here is my logic and a couple possible fixes, though I really have no clue. When we were doing the lesson with Jim before the push, we had users with statuses. when I first added Devise, it called from gem AddDeviseToUsers and put it in my db. When you in your lesson did it, you had no user statuses. So, I'm thinking that was why everything was breezy on your end.

So here is my thinking: 1.) I delete all users and statuses in my latest iteration 2.) then, I do two migration rollbacks... maybe this fixes it.

Or: I write in the AddDeviseToUsers file a string with new fields after def self.up, then reverse them after the def self.down only, I have no clue how to write those strings and there reverses....

Thank you, okay,here goes, rake db:migrate --trace

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate

Hey Michael Herleman, try commenting out the add_column :users, :first_name, :string and add_column :users, :last_name, :string lines from the migration file and try running it again. There may be duplicate information in that migration file or it was added previously. There's also a possibility you have to migrations named add_devise_to_users. If so, try deleting one of them and re-migrating.

Thank you Jason.

I looked for those file but could not find them. so I ran the localhost and the other server, deleted all those statuses.

quit the rails server

then ran rake db:migrate --trace and it never called from gem AddDeviseToUsers.

now I'm going to pick up where you added the users to the statuses.

I think what was happening was during the migration it looked in sqlite and saw information, so when seeing information. it was technically, not a first_time. so it called up from gem, the self.up and the self.down methods.

I think this is a way to upgrade an application already in use, with out trashing the whole thing and all the user data store in the db.

this makes sense, i think... I'm not going to quit, I'm kind of stubborn like that I'm really beginning to engage with this.

the team at treehouse is making some really good engaging content I never would have thought I could learn any of this

thank you

Mike
