Run rake db: migrate to Rails (table already exists) using mysql

Question

Run rake db: migrate to Rails (table already exists) using mysql

I am relatively new to rail development.

I am trying to migrate a newly created table using the following command:

$ rake db:migrate

but I constantly get an error message that is related to an existing table. But whenever I try to run the rails application, I get Migrations - waiting for an error.

I am not opposed to deleting the table, because I just started working on this application, so I deleted the previous migration and I ran the db: migrate command and there will be no migration. Then I will add a new model again using the following command:

$ rails generate model User name:string

This gives me the expected result:

    invoke  active_record
      create    db/migrate/20141129134103_create_users.rb
   identical    app/models/user.rb
      invoke    test_unit
   identical      test/models/user_test.rb
   identical      test/fixtures/users.yml

But after that I run:

$ rake db:migrate --trace

And I get this output:

** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Execute db:load_config
** Execute db:migrate
