Rails migration: how to retrieve current migration version?

January 19, 2023 by Tarik

There’s a much nicer way: rails db:migrate:status

up     20120530222941  Create shenanigans
up     20120613030015  *** NO FILE ***

Indicating that I’ve deleted my latest migration file.

Or more simply:

> rails db:version
Current version: 20120613030015

NOTE: for Rails versions prior to 5.0 replace rails with rake.
