rake db:migrate fails, nil popping up

from PR #29 bundle install fine, rake db:migrate gives

Please gist the stack.

Also, you'll need to mention me - i.e. put @mrship somewhere in the issue - if you want me to see issues automatically. Otherwise it'll only be when I review the list, hence the delay in responding! :)

OK, I'm guessing a bit here as this appears to be a fairly random error, but try changing organism.rb from validates :local_name, presence: true, uniqueness: { message: "The local name of the organism must be unique." } to validates :local_name, presence: true validates_uniqueness_of :local_name, message: "The local name of the organism must be unique." And re-run the migration. I'm working a little blind as it doesn't fail on my setup. Let me know if that works.
