This gem provides a useful rake task missing from ActiveRecord - one that provides command-line feedback on the presence of a database.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'activerecord-db_exists'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install activerecord-db_exists
$ rake db:drop
$ rake db:exists && echo 'db configured'
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:exists && echo 'db configured'
db configured
$
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
