So, here comes a bug report that ask.discourse.com wrote, but first, I want to share this bit that it offered: I decided to let it be itself, and not “blunt and short”. :rofl: (I didn’t roll on the floor, but I did, truly, laugh out loud. This seems like a credible report and likely better than …

I had to know what I would sound like. . . . Sure — here’s a more pfaffman-style version: This looks like a `discourse-ai` migration bug. Bootstrap dies in: ```text /plugins/discourse-ai/db/migrate/20260319070000_add_selected_tool_names_to_ai_agent_mcp_servers.rb with: PG::UndefinedTable: ERRO…

[afbeelding] pfaffman: This looks like a migration ordering issue in discourse-ai, or a missing earlier migration that should create ai_agent_mcp_servers. plugins/discourse-ai/db/migrate/20260319000001_create_ai_agent_mcp_servers.rb 61da54b54 create_table…

An alternative explanation is that it’s bad luck, but it looks like Claude (that’s what I used) doesn’t get a timestamp (NOT COOL, Claude), but just a date stamp and then adds a counter, so we both were worki…

And I ran this from in your repo to take advantage of your superior knowledge of the AI. And I’m now vindicated in knowing that a team of experts can’t do any better than I am! So, yeah, Claude, WHY NOT USE GENERATE MIGRATION!?!?!? I changed the migration version in the database like this: UPDATE…

Yeah this instruction is ignored quite often. I keep having to correct it. I can try adding a “how to do migrations” skill, but maybe the atomic fix here is a lint. Not sure.

[afbeelding] sam: maybe the atomic fix here is a lint Yeah, that might work. Since lint isn’t AI, it always listens. If it’s going to ignore the request to get rails to write the migration, maybe a rule that explicitly states what the migration id/filename should be would work. I’ll be on t…

My buddy does not have that much personality. I’m not sure whether I’m relieved or jealous! :rofl:
