No database connection in rails console

Question

My rails application works fine when I run rake db:migrate but the problem occurs when I try to start the rails console.

2.0.0p247 :003 > User
 =         


        

Answer 1

simple solution: The console probably does have a database connection but is reporting that it doesn't.

To see if that's true, make a query in the console.

User.count 

That fixed the false positive warning for me and a colleague.

or

Use Model.connection to establish a connection.
