database not configured? really?

Upon launching script/server -e production:

./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:194:in `establish_connection’: production database is not configured (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

lies! all lies!

development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: ~/webdocs/incumbent/tracks/db/tracks-104.db

test:
adapter: sqlite3
database: ~/webdocs/incumbent/tracks/db/tracks-104.db

production:
adapter: sqlite3
database: /Volumes/miniStack/Users/emory/webdocs/incumbent/tracks/db/tracks-104.db

note: ~/webdocs… is = /Volumes/miniStack/... I was experimenting a bit and it seemed to make no difference.

Any ideas? Stock distribution of Tracks. Running current release code, not dev.

your tracks directory is really just called tracks (and not by any chance tracks-1.041)?

Signature

Tracks 1.042 on Locomotive / Camino 1.0.1

‘tracks’ is symlinked to ‘tracks-1.041’.

I’m not sure how well Rails deals with symlinks, because I’ve never tried it. However, did you run the script/server line from within /Volumes/miniStack/Users/emory/webdocs/incumbent/tracks? If you do that, then you should be able to give the path as just db/tracks-1.041.db

Are you sure it is sqlite3 not sqlite? Also could you do a ls -la in ~/webdocs/incumbent/tracks/db/.

That isn’t the issue.

Permissions are fine:

oy!

this is lunacy.

apparently you MUST have two spaces before the subvars in the directives in database.yml.

i had a tab. can’t use a tab.

so it MUST look like this:

production:
  adapter: sqlite3  
  database: ~rewl/webdocs/incumbent/tracks/db/tracks-104.db 

arrrgh!

Yes, that’s one of YAML’s least attractive qualities. But to be fair, it is mentioned in installation.html:

“It’s very important that you don’t use TABS in any of the *.yml files. Just use spaces to indent.”

It’s one of those things that’s really difficult to track down as an error because the error message is so non-informative.
