$ bundle exec rake db:reset command raising couldn't drop db/development.sqlite3

Question

I tried to run $ bundle exec rake db:reset and found the following on console

Couldn\'t drop db/development.sqlite3 : #

        

Answer 1

I know this is an old post, but I just had this problem (continued sqlite3 issues with Windows), and while rebooting, shutting the command line, and stopping the server didn't work, I did manage to solve it by actually running each of the commands htanta mentioned above sequentially: 1. bundle exec rake db:drop 2. bundle exec rake db:create 3. bundle exec rake db:migrate

If db:reset is only these commands anyway, I don't understand why it doesn't work but the individual commands do?
