MigrationsWatchdog

This tool helps you check if the passed paths include migration and app code changes.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'migrations_watchdog'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install migrations_watchdog

Usage

You can call the CLI passing the paths to check:

$ migrations_watchdog app/models/foo.rb db/structure.sql
Migrations and app code detected. Move out the following files:
app/models/foo.rb

At Envoy we use this tool in our CI flow to force separation between migration and app code changes in each pull request.

Our CircleCI configuration has a task like the following:

- run:
    name: Migrations and app code check
    type: shell
    command: git --no-pager diff --name-only HEAD $(git merge-base HEAD master) | xargs migrations_watchdog

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
