Question

I am following along the Ruby on Rails Tutorial and have gotten somewhat confused in the testing section, in particular – 3.6.2 – Automated tests with Guard

As per the tutorial’s instructions for deployment to Heroku, I’ve switched over to Postgresql and removed sqlite3 from my gemfile and did a bundle install to update.

However, once I run

bundle exec guard

I receive the message:

/Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@global/gems/bundler-1.1.3/lib/bundler/rubygems_integration.rb:147:in block in replace_gem': Please install the sqlite3 adapter:gem install activerecord-sqlite3-adapter` (sqlite3 is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.) (LoadError)

I’m confused why I need this as sqlite3 has been removed from my environment?

My Gemfile is as follows:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.3'
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.9.0'
  gem 'guard-rspec', '0.5.5'
end

# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '3.2.4'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'
  gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'
end

gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.0'

group :test do
    gem 'rspec-rails', '2.9.0'
  gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
  gem 'rb-fsevent', :require => false
  gem 'growl', '1.0.3'
  gem 'spork', '0.9.0'
end

I’m a bit confused because the Gemfile in the tutorial shows sqlite3 again even though it was removed in the previous section of the tutorial.

Update your database config file to use postgresql adapter:

adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database:
username:
password:
