I have discovered that unlike the other parts of the migrations system, the Migration::CheckPending Rack module does not respect Rails.application.paths['db/migrate'].
All the rake-driven migrations code benefits from: active_record/railties/databases.rake#L6
ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrations_paths = ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrations_paths
``
DatabaseTasks.migration_paths returns the value of Rails.application.paths[‘db/migrate’].
However Migration::CheckPending does not benefit from this.
I’ve been experimenting with ways to fix it, for example this works:
class CheckPending
def initialize(app) … if defined? Rails ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrations_paths = Rails.application.paths[‘db/migrate’].to_a end end
``
Does this look like a viable solution?
Is it something that might ever get merged in?
This is a somewhat unusual situation. I’m doing some experiments on engines/apps, attempting to change their relationships to each other, and discovered this when I moved the migrations folder.
Should I spin up a PR?
Thanks for your consideration,
-Sam.
