Error on migration: SQLite3::SQLException: no such table: main.users

Question

I'm still pretty new to the Rails world. I've been working on a skill at a time so I thought I'd give Omni-Auth twitter a crack. I've been reading through this tutorial on SitePoint:

Rails Authentication with OAuth 2.0 and OmniAuth

I'm find up until the point where it has me create a user model and modify the migration file before running rake db:migrate. Here's my migration file based on those instructions:

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.string :provider, null: false
      t.string :uid, null: false
      t.string :name
      t.string :location
      t.string :image_url
      t.string :url
      add_index :users, :providers
      add_index :users, :uid
      add_index :users, [:provider, :uid], unique: true

      t.timestamps null: false
    end
  end
end

But when I run rake db:migrate it throws this error:

SQLite3::SQLException: no such table: main.users: CREATE  INDEX "index_users_on_providers" ON "users" ("providers")/Users/jrshafer/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/sqlite3-1.3.11/lib/sqlite3/database.rb:91:in `initialize'

Any help you could provide this aspiring developer would be much appreciated.

You should create your table in one block and then add the indexes. But in your current code, you are trying to add the indexes in the same create_table block.

Try replacing your current code with this piece of code:

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.string :provider, null: false
      t.string :uid, null: false
      t.string :name
      t.string :location
      t.string :image_url
      t.string :url
      t.timestamps null: false
    end # you have to end the create_table block here

    # then you have to have the add_index statements
    add_index :users, :providers
    add_index :users, :uid
    add_index :users, [:provider, :uid], unique: true
  end
end

Then run:

bundle exec rake db:migrate

This should fix your problem.
