You need to setup the config/database.yml with a connection to a valid database. This is the case for both MASA (highway) and Registrar (fountain). You can use a local sqlite3 database with something like:
development: adapter: sqlite3 database: /app/database/development.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000
This example is in docker/config/database.yml in fountain.
If you want to use postgresql running locally (recommended), then you can use the “can-o-pg” which is integrated. Make sure you have postgresql 8, 9 or 10, installed (but you don’t have to have it running). Make sure that you have checked up all submodules: git submodule init git submodule update
and then run “make” from the main directory, and if find postgresql, then it will initialize a database running in run/*. No root required. “make stop” to shut it down.
Either way, you need to run “rake db:migrate” before you can run “rake spec”.
