Rails 5, Rspec: Environment data not found in the schema

Question

After upgrading a Rails app to Rails 5, running RSpec tests gives me the following error:

rails aborted!
ActiveRecord::NoEnvironmentInSchemaError: 

Environm         


        

Answer 1

All of the above answers are correct, however, if you're in a more unique project such as developing a rails engine with a concept of a schema (hacky, I know) and your migration fails for some reason, you can re-run it without the check that throws this exception. Example:

rake environment db:{drop,create,migrate} DISABLE_DATABASE_ENVIRONMENT_CHECK=1
