automatically open Rails generate migration file in editor

Question

Is it possible to configure Rails so that after running rails g migration name_of_migration, it automatically opens that file in TextMate?

If my solution is the right one, would you mind selecting it? — adantj, May 14 '19 at 16:44

You could create an alias with this:

alias last_migration='ls db/migrate/* | tail -n1 | xargs open -a "Textmate"'

and then run it from your terminal:

last_migration

I've to do add `*.rb` to the `ls` filter because it didn't worked for me: `alias last_migration='ls db/migrate/*.rb | tail -n1 | xargs open -a "MyEditor"'` – MaicolBen Feb 10 '16 at 16:05

No, but you can generate migration in Textmate, using the following shortcut -

"Shift + Control + M"

Doesn't work for me. Do I need a special bundle or something? – CharlieMezak Sep 28 '11 at 20:19
you need the ruby on rails bundle – Rishav Rastogi Jan 16 '12 at 19:43
