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

```
Of course database not exists! That’s why I trying to create it. I don’t understand…

Try:
```plaintext
bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate
```
You have no local database.

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.
