Maybe this should be #Development, but I just did

```bash
git pull upstream master
git reset --hard upstream/master
RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
bundle exec rails s

```

and when I load my new Discourse, nothing renders. I can view source and see that lots of stuff is there, but nothing renders. I don’t see anything obviously wrong in the console.

If I switch over to 1.6 and drop/create/migrate it works fine. Could some recent commit have broken this?

Oops. I just needed to:

```
rm -r tmp

```

in the discourse directory.
