I had an issue where I had a migration to add a table that already existed, so in my case I had to skip this migration as well, because I was getting the error

SQLite3::SQLException: table "posts" already exists: CREATE TABLE "posts"

I simply commented out the content of the create table method, ran the migration, and then uncommented it out. It's kind of a manual way to get around it, but it worked. See below:

class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    # create_table :posts do |t|
    #   t.string :title
    #   t.text :message
    #   t.string :attachment
    #   t.integer :user_id
    #   t.boolean :comment
    #   t.integer :phase_id

    #   t.timestamps
    # end
  end
end
