class `ActiveRecord::MigrationContext`

Migration Context

MigrationContext sets the context in which a migration is run.

A migration context requires the path to the migrations is set in the migrations_paths parameter. Optionally a schema_migration class can be provided. Multiple database applications will instantiate a SchemaMigration object per database. From the Rake tasks, Rails will handle this for you.

Attributes

Public instance methods

`migrate(target_version = nil, &block)`

Runs the migrations in the migrations_path.

If target_version is nil, migrate will run up.

If the current_version and target_version are both 0 then an empty array will be returned and no migrations will be run.

If the current_version in the schema is greater than the target_version, then down will be run.

If none of the conditions are met, up will be run with the target_version.

  when current_version > target_version
    down(target_version, &block)

    up(target_version, &block)
