error with rake

rubyonrails-talk
1

I've been following the RoR tutorial at Peak Obsession ...

When I enter the rake command (in step 5 of the tutorial) I get an error that database_test does not exist... If I manually create an empty database with that name in mysql the rake command executes without errors.

Should rails be creating the database_test at some point, perhaps at the same time it creates database_development? (I might be missing something in the tutorial).

Thanks for any help

I'm not aware that rails actually creates the database for you... I always just create my _development and _test databases manually when starting a project, then use migrations & rake from there on

Guess I didn't follow your link to "rake db:create"

I've found if I use rake db:create:all magically all databases are created... took me a while...
