rails : Could not load database configuration. No such file -

Question

I cloned an app folder from a GitHub repository, and after bundle install the gems, I tried to use the rake db:setup and rake db:migrate commands, neither worked, and here is my error message:

**arun997@promanager:~/workspace (master) $ rake db:setup
require 'rails/all'... 2.470s
Bundler.require... 7.590s
rake aborted!
Cannot load `Rails.application.database_configuration`:

If anyone can help with i would be eternally grateful.

Answer 1

Would your rails app be missing the file:

/your-app-path/config/database.yml

if so you can create a fresh one with these examples

Answer 2

Remove .example extension from .yml files

     database.yml.example -> database.yml

Answer 3

step: cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml bundle check bundle install rails s again
