I’m getting the following error when attempting to update my dev install on Windows. I first did a `git pull`, then `vagrant up`, `vagrant ssh`, and finally `bundle install`. The error occurs when trying to run `bundle exec rake db:migrate`

```plaintext
vagrant@discourse:/vagrant$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
