  What problem are you trying to solve here?

  Ie, how does the current system cause you problems?

  This is the usual flow for most people who are testing:

  $ rails g migration ...
  $ rake db:migrate
  $ rake test
  

  Which promptly blows up -> no test database.

  I'm trying to have rake db:create to not create test database.
  I think that should be the right way and the least surprise for users.

  I understand now what you do Mikel, thanks

  This is because db:reset and db:setup tasks depend on it, and it's convenient to have test db created along with dev.

  this issue
  https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets...
  points out this inconsistency between create and drop behaviour and
  to my satisfaction a non-sneaky solution seems agreed upon:

  to have
  

  RAILS_ENV=development rake db:create
  

  do what is says (create ONLY dev and not test) in the doc
  

  $ rake -D db:create
  (in /home/tron/Work/Repowt)
  rake db:create
      Create the database from config/database.yml for the current Rails.env (use db:create:all to create all dbs in the config)
