and don't forget, developers make mistakes...all the time. if they didn't there would be little point to a continuous integration system in the first place. what if I change a migration, then "forget to run it" before checking in. this is exactly what ci should protect you from, however, in your case instead of just failing, ci will go into an error state that the only way to fix is to log onto the box.

no good.

though it'd be nice for this *not* to happen. Surely there's a way around it?

I haven't used CC.rb in some time, but the way I used to have it set up is that the production DB would be copied for CC.rb to test against, then migrations were run, then the tests. If the DB was borked after one check-in the next had a chance of fixing the migration as it'd rebuild the DB from production and rerun the migrations.

I don't like the idea of assuming your CC.rb schema is the same as production simply because you're rebuilding from migrations each time.
