Detected resolved migration not applied to database on flyway

Question

We are using flyway to manage database schema version and we are facing a problem. Since we work as a team and use git as our source code management, there would be some cases that different people update database schema on their own local repo. If that happens, we will get

Detected resolved migration not applied to database: 2016.03.17.16.46"

The time "2016.03.17.16.46" was added by another person and I have already applied some timestamp later than that time. If that happens, we have to clean all database tables and create them again. We have tried to set false on validateOnMigrate and did flywayClean, but nothing help. Is there another way to change that?

Solution 1

The migration option outOfOrder is your friend here. Set it to true to allow inserting those migrations after the fact.

On the command line, run:

flyway -outOfOrder=true migrate

Or if you use the Maven plugin:

mvn -Dflyway.outOfOrder=true flyway:migrate

Solution 2

I faced similar problem when switching from one git branch to another and tried to run flyway:migrate. For example when I was on branch 'release_4.6.0' I didn't have migrations on my local machine from branch 'release_4.7.0' so I received next error FlywayException: Validate failed: Detected applied migration not resolved locally. The solution that worked for me is to set ignoreMissingMigrations flyway option to true. In maven it looks like

flyway:migrate -Dflyway.ignoreMissingMigrations=true

Maybe it's not an answer for this question, but it can be helpful for those who faced the same problem as me.

Here you can find more details: https://flywaydb.org/documentation/configuration/parameters/ignoreMissingMigrations

Solution 3

just add spring.flyway.ignore-missing-migrations=true to your properties file if you are using spring-boot.

This will ignore previous migrations.

Solution 4

You can also put it in your application.properties file if you want to apply the migrations when starting up the app:

spring.flyway.out-of-order=true

how to do that in action?

[Linda Z]

flyway -outOfOrder=true migrate

[Adriaan Koster]

Note that not all migrations can be executed out of order. For instance, creating table 'foo' and adding column 'bar' to table 'foo'.

[Nikita Bosik]

-Dflyway.outOfOrder=true

Worked for me, but looks like there is some conceptual difference in how migration work in other frameworks and in flyway.
