Migration Skipping
Skipping or disabling a Rails migration could be needed if one migration is deemed to cause a regression on GitLab.com. Instead of reverting the commit that introduced said migration, we can instruct Rails to never execute it by marking it as already-executed.
A chatops command can be used to achieve the desired result. Run the following in
the #production Slack channel (assuming this migration
db/post_migrate/20200026113518_remove_column_from_table.rb):
/chatops run migrations mark 20200026113518If the migration is running against the CI database, then add the --database ci flag:
/chatops run migrations mark 20200026113518 --database ci
