Database issues when using RSpec for testing

Question

I'm working on a Ruby on Rails project and trying to get RSpec working so i can write some tests. I run the following command:

bundle exec rspec spec/

to run my test. I then get the error

 Migrations are pending; run 'rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test' to resolve this issue.

so then i run

rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test

and get the following error

Screenshot of the issue

any help would be appreciated!

Try creating an empty test db and run the migrations again. You seem to have a conflict with the index. — AshwinKumarS

The error is misleading. You should never run migrations directly on your test db. Run:

rake db:test:prepare

Rails 3.2.9 may solve your issue.
