Rails generate model + migration for subclass

Question

I have a base model MyAppRecordBase which inherits from ActiveRecord::Base and which all other models inherit from. I used (in config/environments/development.rb) config.generators.active_record[:parent] = 'MyAppRecordBase' to make it default. How do I make rails generate model XYZ to create a migration file for new models (it do all exept creating migration file..)?

Well, after searching for solutions, I used ActiveSupport::Concern as mentioned in this answer by @HarishShetty, And it solve it.

I believe the issue you were facing is that when you subclass a model in rails that by default it will use the parent class's database tables. Therefore the generator doesn't think that it needs to create the migration file. – darkrat Dec 21 '14 at 04:07
