rake db:schema:dump vs. config.active_record.schema_format = :ruby

Hello folks,

I’ve some issues with

rake db:structure:dump and rails 4.2.0

If config.active_record.schema_format = :ruby, rake db:structure:dump will generate structure.sql nevertheless - tests will fail because of a missing schema.rb file

(/home/jan/RubymineProjects/cdb3/db/schema.rb doesn’t exist yet. Run rake db:migrate to create it, then try again. If you do not intend to use a database, you should instead alter /home/jan/RubymineProjects/cdb3/config/application.rb to limit the frameworks that will be loaded.

What’s wrong here?

Thanks in advance,

db:structure:dump always generates structure.sql - the schema_format settings controls whether it is invoked at all (or whether db:schema:dump is called). (See https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4-2-stable/activerecord/lib/active_record/railties/databases.rake#L48). Was schema_format previously set to :sql ?
