Hello, I’m attempting to install Discourse for development on my PC, however running bundle exec rake db:migrate causes this error to appear:

```plaintext
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0; required keywords: site_setting_name, title, raw)

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

```

It is an issue with the create\_topic function, but I am unable to figure out how to change the parameters being passed as the migration is happening. What can I do about the extra arguments being passed?
