Well, I need to remove some database tables from my application. So I am using rake db:migrate:down to undo/remove migrations. Also, I have changed (added/removed/modified) the code in model, view, controller, and tests to make these changes. Now I need to run tests in order to check everything is working.
I can pull out an old copy from revision control system. But, what if migrations that need to be removed are not the latest ones. Lets assume that there are 30 migrations. - migration # 15 and 17 - are related to adding new tables - migration # 22 and 25 - add column to above tables. So I need to remove/undo migrations 15, 17, 22, and 25. I need other migrations as they are not related to these tables. What should I do in such situation? I did db:migrate:down for above migrations and also made necessary changes in the code and now trying to run tests. Am I following wrong approach? Thanks, Shantanu.
