Getting started with Example Project

This page is out of date. The FluentMigrator.Example project no longer includes the discussed rake file.

The example project is a class library that contains the migrations, and a rakefile to wrap the Migrator.Console.exe calls.
You will need ruby, rubygems and the rake gem installed. Instructions to do this can be found here

Run

rake compile

from the command line in the projects root directory. This will
compile the application and copy the required files over to the example project
src/FluentMigrator.Example/tools/FluentMigrator. cd into the example project and compile it:

cd src\FluentMigrator.Example

rake

rake -T

This will list the available commands

rake clean
rake compile
rake db:delete
rake db:migrate
rake db:migrate:up
rake db:migrate:down
rake db:rollback

The db:migrate commands can take an optional VERSION parameter

rake db:migrate VERSION=20090906205342

db:rollback can take an optional STEPS parameter.

rake db:rollback STEPS=2
