rake db:fixtures:load fails

Closed this issue 15 years ago · 3 comments

$ rake db:fixtures:load
(in /home/user/Downloads/asset_tracker)
rake aborted!
PGError: ERROR: relation "locations" does not exist
LINE 1: DELETE FROM "locations"
^
: DELETE FROM "locations"

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Using Ubuntu Karmic Koala, ruby 1.8.7, libpgsql-ruby 0.8.0-1, postgresql 8.4

Any help as to what this means? Sorry I'm new to rails

rake db:create finished successfully, and created an empty database

Ahh ok I solved the problem. The instructions were missing the step "rake db:migrate" which should be performed after db:create before loading fixtures.

Yeah, pretty much all RoR projects will require that. :)
