Did you already solve the problem? Did "bundle exec rake db:migrate" help or what did the trick?

What command are you running through the prompt? Have you tried "bundle exec rake db:migrate"? What is it you are trying to do or have done so far?

no it didn't help, I tried that command again. I find that I spend more time trying to get things working in rails than actually programming

Keep at it- that's where the learning happens. Try this "You need to do bundle exec rake test:prepare or bundle exec rake db:test:prepare and then bundle exec rake db:migrate before running the specs". It's from an answer on stack overflow to this same problem. If it doesn't work check it out at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20082002/migrations-are-pending-run-bin-rake-dbmigrate-rails-env-development-to-resol?rq=1 .... follow links on the right hand side to similar questions and you are bound to find the answer or figure it out simply by considering the variety of answers.

I've actually looked at that exact stackexchange post last night before posting to these forums. I think I am going to restart the app from scratch and see if I run into the same problems.
