After latest git pull update I’m trying to create database with rake db:create and getting this: rake aborted! ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError: FATAL: database "discourse_development" does not exist /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_settings/db_provider.rb:61:in `table_exists?' /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_settings/db_provider.rb:16:in `all' /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_settings/defaults_provider.rb:29:in `db_all' /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_setting_extension.rb:277:in `block in refresh!' /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_setting_extension.rb:274:in `synchronize' /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_setting_extension.rb:274:in `refresh!' /vagrant/discourse/lib/site_setting_extension.rb:479:in `block in setup_methods' /vagrant/discourse/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/plugin.rb:51:in `block in activate!' /vagrant/discourse/lib/plugin/instance.rb:329:in `block in notify_after_initialize' /vagrant/discourse/lib/plugin/instance.rb:327:in `each' /vagrant/discourse/lib/plugin/instance.rb:327:in `notify_after_initialize' /vagrant/discourse/config/application.rb:307:in `each' /vagrant/discourse/config/application.rb:307:in `block in ' Of course database not exists! That’s why I trying to create it. I don’t understand…

I see the same problem. It was caused by some recent changes to use rails zeitwerk. I’m looking into fixing this. In the meantime, you can do: $ createdb discourse_development instead.

This is now fixed. I’m sorry for any inconvenience.

Try:

bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate

You have no local database.
