Hey all- I am at the beginning of the

graphql ruby tutorial

and am getting an error on

rails db:create

😞 can't even start the project. I have Stack O'd the issues but nothing seems to work. this is likely an easy fix but I am NOOOOOOOObs

rails db:create --trace
** Invoke db:create (first_time)
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Execute db:load_config
** Execute db:create
rails aborted!
ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified: 'local' database is not configured. Available: ["default", "development", "test", "production"]

I have the full stack trace if helpful. THANK YOU!!

hey @pe thanks for bringing this up here! 🙂 I haven't followed the Ruby tutorial yet, but it sounds like somewhere

local

is used instead of one of the four options listed there.

Hi @nilan thanks so much for getting back to me. If I prepend the environment it works!!! LOL gosh I am such an idiot!

RAILS_ENV=development rails db:create --trace
** Invoke db:create (first_time)
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Execute db:load_config
** Execute db:create
Created database 'db/development.sqlite3'
Created database 'db/test.sqlite3'

Stay tuned, I will likely have more setup issue 🙂

ah that's nice! was that not clear by following the tutorial instructions?

Nah, not at all. If you run into any issues in the enviro setup in the tutorial you are pretty much on your own. Is there a channel dedicated to JUST this tutorial?? Maybe we should start one? The git repo is really for reporting and working on bugs, my issues are just NOOBS not bugs LOL

no there is no dedicated channel for these tutorials, here is fine 🙂 The tutorial is open source, so if you think a note that tells the reader to set the environment before running the

rails

command, a PR with that would be great!

OOO FUN it would be my first Open Source PR and make me super happy. OK WILL DO! thanks @nilan

haha cool 😄
