Abort if pending migrations with data

We use the awesome gem data-migrate with comes with a handy rake task to check if you have migrations pending. The task is really and extention to the task built in on rails but that also check for pending data migrations.

That rake task is available since version 6.3.0 of data-migrate. If you are stuck in an older version like I was here is a version of the rake task you can put in your project.

rake db:abort_if_pending_migrations:with_data

Kubernetes

You can use this rake task in an init container to halt your deployments until you migrations are ready.

      migrations_paths.push data_migration_path

      if DataMigrate::DataMigrator.needs_migration?
        message = %{Run `rake db:migrate:with_data` to update your database then try again.}

        migrations = DataMigrate::DataMigrator.migrations_status migrations_paths
        migrations = migrations.select { |m| m[0] == 'down' }

        puts "You have #{migrations.size} pending migration#{migrations.size > 1 ? 's' : ''}:"
        migrations.each do |pending_migration|
          puts "  #{pending_migration[1]} #{pending_migration[2]}"
        end
        abort message
      end
    end
  end
