Can not create DB

[d0glike]

Hello,
I'm stuck creating the DB: when I run rake db:create, I receive the following output:
/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/activesupport-4.0.3/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb:282: warning: circular argument reference - now Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"mysql2", "encoding"=>"utf8", "database"=>"tracker_development", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"root", "password"=>"xxxxxxx", "socket"=>"/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"}, {:charset=>"utf8", :collation=>"utf8_unicode_ci"} (If you set the charset manually, make sure you have a matching collation) Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"mysql2", "encoding"=>"utf8", "database"=>"tracker_test", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"root", "password"=>"xxxxxxx", "socket"=>"/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"}, {:charset=>"utf8", :collation=>"utf8_unicode_ci"} (If you set the charset manually, make sure you have a matching collation)

MySQL. Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended.

Install the MYSQL driver

gem install mysql2

Ensure the MySQL gem is defined in your Gemfile

gem 'mysql2'

And be sure to use new-style password hashing:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
database: tracker_development
pool: 5
username: root
password: xxxxxx
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and

re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".

Do not set this db to the same as development or production.

test:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
database: tracker_test
pool: 5
username: root
password: xxxxxxx
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

production:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
database: tracker_production
pool: 5
username: root
password: xxxxx
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Do you have any advice?

Thank you,
B regards

@d0glike check if solution for issue #5 works for you

Creating the abstract_mysql2_adapter.rb under config/intializers with the following lines (credit stackoverflow) fixed the issue.

class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Mysql2Adapter
NATIVE_DATABASE_TYPES[:primary_key] = "int(11) auto_increment PRIMARY KEY"
end

Is a new patch coming or should I send a PR ?

Oh BTW, I still get the above error but the database seems to be created in mysql.
