rake db:migrate fails

[librarymark]

Total ruby/rails newbie here - I am trying to just take a quick look at spotlight. I am following the steps to install it, and I run this:
rails new spotlight -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectblacklight/spotlight/master/template.rb
And it seems to finish fine. Then I do the next step,
rake db:migrate
(in the spotlight directory) and I get this:
DEPRECATION WARNING: Initializing a file resolver without setting the base path is deprecated and will be removed in Riiif 2.0. (called from new at /root/projects/spotlight/config/initializers/riiif.rb:1)
rake aborted!

What am I missing?

hi @librarymark! What version of Rails are you currently using?

[librarymark]

5.1.4

I am seeing the same issue, also on Rails 5.1.4

[camillevilla]

Ah. Looks like we're missing Rails versions for two migrations: devise_invitable_add_to_users.rb and create_friendly_id_slugs.rb. Add a version number to the migration and run rake db:migrate again.

class CreateFriendlyIdSlugs < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.1]

Let me know if that works!

[jlicht]

That works

@camillevilla Thanks for your help.

I can edit the migration files after they're created, and successfully re-run rake db:migrate. However, since the migration failed, the installation process wasn't able to create the default admin user, and it's not clear to me what changes would be required in the database to make that happen. Any suggestions?

[camillevilla]

@jlicht No database changes needed once you run the migrations. If you use the following rake task, you'll be prompted to create an admin user:

bundle exec rake spotlight:admin

[jlicht]

Thanks, that worked

@jlicht @librarymark I'll close this issue for now (and open up a ticket for fixing the migration generator), but if you have any additional Spotlight questions, feel free to either:

• ping the #blacklight channel on the code4lib Slack
• post something on the Blacklight Development Google group
