Why am I getting rails 4 migrate super: no superclass method `version' activerecord errors when I rake db:migrate?

gistfile1.txt

Migration successful on Windows. Commit and pushed to github. Pulled on Mac which has successfully run this app before. But migration fails on the Mac.

All other migrations on other Rails apps on the Mac fail with the same error.

Stepped down to Ruby 1.9.3 but failure repeats.

The only instance of 'version' that shows up in Sublime text of the app that is not commented out is in Schema.rb. The usage matches previous successful commits.

rake output.txt

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate

Did you ever resolve this? I am able to run migrations with no error but I get this same error when I run the app.

@gabrieljoelc check if your schema_migrations table has the column version.
Also try to execute rake db:migrate:status then you should see the pg gem throwing an error because the version column in the schema_migrations table is not found.

At least this was the case for me.

I don't know if there are any other easy way of doing this, but I had to add this column manually to the schema_migrations table to get it work again.

Some explanation can be found in my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51989696/1892060.
