When I try to do integration test it complaints as unknown database for the test. If I run rake db:test:prepare

I can not run any tests from this video. When I type rake db:test:prepare it says this command is deprecated. Then it says unknown database for the test. What should I do?

To add to this, since you are using Rails 4, this is the new way to update the test database. If using rails 3, then you would follow along with the videos.

It asked me to do db:create first :) So I did rake db:create db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test and it works now! thanks!
