DB:Migrate for Ruby On Rails - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am working in Ruby on Rails.
I am updating a database with users locally:
Using the "rails console"
Running rails server
Checking on localhost:3000
The users are added on my local host.
I then try and run steps 3-7
Make changes to local code
Run any migrations LOCALLY
Add all changed files to Git git add .
Commit all added files to git git commit -m "Adding features"
Push the changes to Heroku git push heroku master - assuming you are using heroku as your remote name and you are working in the master branch
If you have migrations run heroku run rake db:migrate to run the migrations ON HEROKU
Following migrations do heroku restart
After step 6 I get this as a result:
"Running `rake db:migrate` attached to terminal... up, run.5819

When I do:
heroku open
and try to log in it now says my user information is invalid and heroku support says there are no user records.
Does anyone know what I can do here? This folder was also copied over from another project I was working on, so I deleted the .git file and created a new repository. I just don't know why my database will work locally but not on heroku.
Thanks much.
Best,
David

Answer 1

The users you are creating are stored in your local database only. When you push to Heroku you need to create the users in the Heroku database, either through your user registration interface or through a seeds file.

Answer 2

Here's a sample seed file that you might want to push
# /db/seeds.rb
User.where(email: 'admin#domain.com').first_or_create! do |user|
user.name = 'admin'
user.password = 'temporarypassword'
end
Then push this to the server and run the seeds, you'll need to login and change the password as soon as possible, since the password is pushed into the version control.
