fix-db-schema-conflicts

It prevents db/schema.rb conflicts in your Rails projects when working with multiple team members.

Specifically the situation that goes like this:

John is working on a feature, and adds a migration to create an updated_at timestamp to Task. Sara is working on a different feature, and adds a migration to create a name column to Task. They both run their migrations locally, and then get a new copy of master with the other's feature and migration. Then when they run migrations again, John's tasks table looks like this:

t.timestamp :updated_at
t.string :name

And Sara's looks like this:

t.string :name
t.timestamp :updated_at

And every time they run migrations before committing new code, their db/schema.rb file will be showing a change, because they are flipping the order of the columns.

By using the fix-db-schema-conflicts gem, this problem goes away.

How it works

This gem sorts the table, index, extension, and foreign key names before outputting them to the schema.rb file. Additionally it runs Rubocop with the auto-correct flag to ensure a consistent output format.

Usage

You don't have to do anything different. It should just work. Simply run rake db:migrate or rake db:schema:dump as you would before and fix-db-schema-conflicts will do the rest.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile in your development group:

gem 'fix-db-schema-conflicts'

And then execute:

$ bundle
