Rails Setting up unique integration environment

Question

I am trying to setup a unique environment (but effectively a new development environment so that various global parameters can be different). I've followed lots of examples to create a new environment (I used my development config as the starting point).

My new environment is singleserverintegration.

• a new environment.rb
• added new logic to initializers/additional.rb (elsif Rails.env.eql?("singleserverintegration"))
• added entries to database.yml

BUT when-ever i attempt to setup the environment

RAILS_ENV="singleserverintegration" && rake db:drop && rake db:create && rake db:migrate

I get a

rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Capybara

why is it pulling out test configuration (which is where capybara is used as part of rspec) [i've noticed that additional.rb has capybara config reguardless of the environment, but it never complains when i run rake / db commands for my dev environment. why would it complain now?]

what am i missing - guidance appreciated for a relative newbie...

thanks

Ben

bottom line of additional.rb is

Capybara.server_port = 8066

but, this does not cause an issue when i setup development environments!?

Answer 1

try adding your new env to the capybara gem as well

Ex:

group :test, :development, :singleserverintegration do
  gem 'capybara'
end
