how to see what attribute is giving me this error: value too long for type character varying(255)


I'm trying to deploy my rails app with heroku. I ran heroku run rake db:migrate and that worked fine. Then I tried running heroku run rake db:seed and I got this error: value too long for type character varying(255).

I looked through my code and I'm pretty sure that all the string attributes are less than 255 characters. How do I see which attribute is giving me the error?

Solution

  • Do you have PG admin? You could try running this in a SQL prompt where you can format it line by line and (hopefully) see which line is erroring, or cut out sections to try.

    You can also check that the columns marked as text in the schema aren't limited to 255 characters.

    Did you change any from string to text in a migrate? If so the limit may not have actually changed unless you specifically entered a new limit in the migrate.
