Hi,
I finally got a macbook and Textmate about a month ago, primarily for ruby/rails development.
I looked at the various screencasts, and the one on the rails bundle shows some features like the mdct (migration drop and create table) and mrac (migration remove and add column) which use schema.db to generate code in the migration's down method to recreate the table or column being dropped or removed.
The rails ruby bundle which came with TextMate doesn't seem to have these. I did find what seems to be the bundle demoed on the screencast at the syncPeople web site, and installed it, but it seems to replace the 'standard' bundle which came with TM (the names differ though).
What's the status of this/these bundles?
By the way, I wrote another mini-bundle which has one command which is a 'magic' snippet for adding an item to a rails test fixture. It also works by reading db/schema.db
The code for the command in the bundle can be found in an article on my blog. I had planned to add the bundle as a resource to the article, but it seems that typo(my blog engine) doesn't seem to support uploading bundles.
The article is at

I'd appreciate any feedback on this textmate command.

Welcome.

The issue you are probably seeing is that most of these items have been renamed and have new, and more consistent, tab triggers. You will find them in Bundles → Ruby on Rails → Migrations.
Also make sure the language displayed at the bottom of the editor window when you are writing Rails code is Ruby on Rails. You may need to manually change it once.

Don't do that. ;) The included bundle is a newer version of that bundle. You should now look into:

Okay, they do work a little differently as well, the original mrac would generate the down method as you filled in the up snippet where the new one requires you to hit tab twice.

Well, the only bundle I found in either of the folders mentioned there was the prototype and scriptaculous bundle which I'd downloaded.
I had saved the original ruby on rails bundle by dragging it to the desktop before installing the syncpeople bundle, I dragged that back to the TM application icon, so I GUESS I'm back to square one.
