i get uninitialized constant reconfirmable when i run the migration
I imagine that in user.rb you have specified devise :reconfirmable. If so are you sure that is a valid option?
If it is not that then show us user.rb

It may not be a valid option Maybe it should only be specified as reconfirmable=true in devise.rb and not in the model
It seems clear that it’s a bug in devise which causes devise to omit the required column unconfirmed_email from the table when it generates the migration The workaround’s easy enough, just do it myself, but shouldn’t this be fixed by now and why am i the only one who cares?

I believe that is the case. It is a configuration option on devise, not on the user.

Well, no, it doesn't actually 
If you want the "confirmable" behavior, you need to explicitly enable that in both your model and in the migration - it's commented out by default.
yikes … thanks, i think i should have read the migrations, thanks again
