[deepamehta-devel] MIgrations question

[Jörg Richter]

Hi Robert,

to my knowledge you've changed Migration7 so that the created topic gets "crowd.meet.start_page" as URI and restarted the server with no DB. That's why no topic with URI "crowd.omnibus.start_page" is created in the first place and your Migration8 fails.

The CROWD bus app 0.6.x releases (as deployed on the production server) rely on data model version 7, that is Migration7 has run already. By changing Migration7 afterwards you actually put your development DB in an inconsistent state. The pre-condition for Migration8 is no longer met.

=> You must never change a migration which is released (and possibly deployed on a production server) already.

The solution is to revert your changes in Migration7, delete your development database, and then restart. Your Migration8 will perform properly then. Your Migration8 code looks fine.

Note: in your development environment you're free to change Migration8 and the following ones (e.g. in order to fix them) and force running them again by deleting your development DB. You're free to do so as long as your code is not released (and not deployed on a production server).

If something remains unclear don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Jörg
