rake aborted! ERROR: must be owner of database

Question

I am working through Michael Hartl\'s excellent tutorial but when trying to prepare the test database with the command: bundle exec rake db:test:prepare I get this error messag

Answer 1

Did you ensure the ownership of the test DB? try running the \l command on Postgres console client and check the ownerships. you can also try the following query:

ALTER DATABASE sample_app_test OWNER TO demo_app;
