PG::StringDataRightTruncation: ERROR: PostgreSQL string(255) limit | Heroku

Question

I Have a Listings controller and users can add a description. If the description is long, which it should be, I receive this error in Heroku:

A         


        

Answer 1

The input given is too long for a string field, so just change to a text field:

class ChangeListingsDescriptionTypeToText < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    change_column :listings, :description, :text
  end
end

Then run rake db:migrate
