Dear all,

task ‘test’ do  
Rake::Task[‘db:create:all’].invoke  
Rake::Task[‘db:migrate’].invoke  
end

Did I miss something or what? Turns out that this simple task would  
have migration done in the test db.

I’ve tried to “puts RAILS\_ENV” inbetween and it shows “development”,  
but migration’s still done in the test db.

Any ideas?  
Thanks.

ps. However if I break the 2 lines into 2 separate tasks, run them  
individually; then migration’s done in the development db as expected.
