I was testing my app (with rspec) when I noticed that rake
test:prepare throws
an odd *FATAL: database “postgres” does not exist *error. Stranger
still,
my tests run just fine regardless.
However, whenever I use rake *test:prepare --trace *(after using rake
db:migrate) I get this error and receive a similar error when
attempting rake
db:create RAILS_ENV=test and also *rake db:drop RAILS_ENV=test *as
well. Any
idea what I may be overlooking?
Here is the error in question:
** Invoke test:prepare (first_time)
** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Execute db:load_config
** Execute db:test:prepare
** Invoke db:test:load (first_time)
** Invoke db:test:purge (first_time)
** Invoke environment
** Invoke db:load_config
** Execute db:test:purge
rake aborted!
