Rake test:units -> table already exists

Rails
#1

Hi!

When I run test:units, rails complains about the tables already being
present. They had to be present so I could run individual unit tests. So
why doesn’t rails just drop the tables if they exist?

Any ideas??

debug oupt below:

rake test:units --trace

Are you using any plugins… I recall seeing this when a plugin was
misbehaving a while ago.
