Trouble with rake

Am having trouble with rake file, but can't find problem. Can you help? Haven't been able to understand the error message returned.

Thank you.

Can I see what's in 20091112074628_add_price_to_product.rb ? It says there's a syntax error in your migration.

Here you go:

class AddPriceToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     add_column :products, :price, :decimal       :precision => 8, :scale => 2, :default => 0   end

  def self.down     remove_column :products, :price   end end

Here you go:

class AddPriceToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration

def self.up

add_column :products, :price, :decimal

:precision => 8, :scale => 2, :default => 0

It seems that you have missed a comma after the field type (i.e. decimal) and it should be

implemented as follows:

add_column :products, :price, :decimal, :precision => 8, :scale => 2, :default => 0

Thus, the migration should look as follows:

class AddPriceToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration

def self.up add_column :products, :price, :decimal, :precision => 8, :scale => 2, :default => 0

end

def self.down remove_column :products, :price end end

Good luck,

The missing comma was the problem. The migration worked now.

Thank you.
