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…

Try: 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.

Database "discourse_development" does not exist

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