ouch, this code should really be externalized and not used in a before_filter :=).
I might not want to run this before filter?!
that is a HORRIBLE idea. What about just making capistrano run db:migrate so that it automatically picks up changes.
slainer68, you are free to rename it to rack::maintenance, or whatever you like.
concerned programmer, running db:migrate != just ensuring that all migrations is done(like in rake_test/rake_db_abort_if_pending_migrations). also, not all people use capistrano
@blocknotgiven I think what people are getting at is this is an unnecessary performance hit on every single action in an application. An additional file system call as well as a db call for every single action is not worth it. as @concerned programmer mentioned, Capistrano can easily handle this. If you’re not using Capistrano to deploy I would investigate your deployment system to find a way to replicate this behavior.
