I am new to Stack Overflow and Ruby on Rails. My problem is, when I run the command rake db:create or rake db:migrate, the test database is affected, but the development database is not.
rails (3.2.2)
my database.yml:
# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test: &test
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: ticketee_test
pool: 5
username: ticketee
password: my_password_here
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: ticketee_development
pool: 5
username: ticketee
password: my_password_here
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: ticketee_production
pool: 5
username: ticketee
password: my_password_here
cucumber:
<<: *test
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am afraid that isn't the reason. My RAILS_ENV=development. When I start the rails server, the server runs the development database. if I run "rails server -e test" then the server uses the test database. I am still not sure why migrations are running on my test database...
UPDATE: Based on a suggestion, I commented out all of the database configurations except development, and now I get an error. I am running postgresql, I have the gem 'pg' installed. First, my new database.yml:
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: ticketee_development
pool: 5
username: ticketee
password: my_password_here
# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
#test: &test
# adapter: postgresql
# encoding: unicode
# database: ticketee_test
# pool: 5
# username: ticketee
# password: my_password_here
#production:
# adapter: postgresql
# encoding: unicode
# database: ticketee_production
# pool: 5
# username: ticketee
# password: my_password_here
#cucumber:
# <<: *test

Using the database.yml above, rake db:create:all RAN CORRECTLY and created my table. However, my migration still fails with the same stack trace as the one above.
I changed my database.yml to this: development: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/development.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000
test:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/test.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
production:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/production.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
UPDATE: I completely changed my database.yml to this:
development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/development.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
test: &test
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/test.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
production:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/production.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
cucumber:
<<: *test
Now, this is what happens when I run rake db:drop:all, followed by rake db:migrate. The rake db:migrate command runs a migration, creating a db/test.sqlite3 AND adding a table to it. So, my migration is still running on the test environment. When I run rake environment RAILS_ENV=development db:migrate, the same thing happens and I get a test.sqlite3 file...
The rake db:setup task will create the database, load the schema and initialize it with the seed data.
A Rails migration is a tool for changing an application's database schema. Instead of managing SQL scripts, you define database changes in a domain-specific language (DSL). The code is database-independent, so you can easily move your app to a new platform.
db:reset: Resets your database using your migrations for the current environment. It does this by running the db:drop , db:create , db:migrate tasks. db:rollback: Rolls the schema back to the previous version, undoing the migration that you just ran. If you want to undo previous n migrations, pass STEP=n to this task.
There is a 'brilliant' line in activerecord/lib/active_record/tasks/database_tasks.rb:
environments << 'test' if environment == 'development' && ENV['RAILS_ENV'].nil?
which, until jan 8, 2014 looked like:
environments << 'test' if environment == 'development'
