Question

I have taps installed.
I get the following error.
This is my first pull like this from Heroku so I am unsure of the exact format

$ heroku db:pull postgres://postgres:@localhost/prod_20120717

 !    Taps Load Error: cannot load such file -- sqlite3
 !    You may need to install or update the taps gem to use db commands.
 !    On most systems this will be:
 !    
 !    sudo gem install taps

I have created an empty prod_20120717 in postgres to receive the data but the problem seems to be that taps is looking for sqlite3, not postgres.

My postgres user is postgres, no pw.

My database.yml file only has postgres adapter defined.

It seems like an adapter name issue. I have also tried postgresql in both of the places where I have postgres.

Answer 1

The answer was that I actually didn’t have sqlite3 installed (I am on a Mac and my app just uses postgres) and I had to install it (sqlite3).

[sudo] gem install sqlite3

I didn’t need it in my Gemfile I just needed it installed on my machine.
