Issue running tests

[kamarcum]

I cloned this repo a little bit ago, but I had some trouble running the tests. Steps to reproduce:

1. New gemset
2. git clone
3. bundle
4. rake -> failures because no db tables exist
5. rake db:create -> Don't know how to build task 'app:db:create'
6. rake -T -> db:setup and db:create both exist
7. rake db:create -> failure
8. rake db:setup -> failure
9. head scratching
10. grep -r database .
11. spec/dummy/config/database.yml -> aha!
12. cd spec/dummy; rake db:create db:migrate; cd ../..; rake -> only a few failures!
13. cd spec/dummy; rake forem:install:migrations db:migrate; cd ../..; rake -> no failures!
14. post github issue so others can work though this more easily
15. await suggestions as to what I can do to help

I have trouble getting testing to work out of the box too!

me too

It seems the steps are:

bundle exec rake -f spec/dummy/Rakefile db:drop db:create db:migrate
bundle exec rspec spec

Taken from the travis config.

It would be nice if running rake from the project did this for us or maybe this information could go in the README better. Would appreciate any and all patches that did this!! :-)

The steps I use are similar to Phil's except I need to run the db:test:prepare task instead:

bundle exec rake -f spec/dummy/Rakefile db:drop db:create db:migrate db:test:prepare

This is a one time run thing, and once that's done then I run bundle exec rspec spec or bin/rspec spec or just ber spec (that's my alias) to run the tests.
