Rails Executing migration ArgumentError

I'm having a strange problem executing rake db:migrate

== 20141127213559 CreateMovies: migrating =====================================
-- create_table(:movies)
   -> 0.0033s
== 20141127213559 CreateMovies: migrated (0.0034s) ============================

rake aborted!
StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

What I did was:

rails generate model Movie

And then edit the migration CreateMovies

class CreateMovies < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    #drop_table :movies
    create_table :movies do |t|
      t.string :title
      t.string :rating
      t.text :description
      t.datetime :release_date
      # Add fields that let Rails automatically keep track
      # of when movies are added or modified:
      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def down
    drop_table :movies
  end
end

This is the output of executing the command with --trace

[fran@arch rottenpotatoes]$ rake db:migrate --trace

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

回答1:

If you are using Rails 4.2.0.beta4, ActiveRecord will require arel gem. Add the following to your gem file

gem 'arel', '6.0.0.beta2'

and run

bundle install

You may get below error message

You have requested:arel = 6.0.0.beta2

The bundle currently has arel locked at 6.0.0.
Try running `bundle update arel`

then

bundle update arel

Now you should able to run migration.

Here you may find similar and explanatory answer: Can't migrate database after scaffold. Section 2.2 Ruby on Rails Tutorial Michael Hartl

回答2:

Maybe you should execute this after create movies table:

generate migration AddFieldsToMovies newfield:type

This generates the correct migration, see this:
