rake test wipes out the entire development db

Are you certain this problem isn't specific to your application? Check your database.yml file to make sure the test db is different from the development one.

Also make sure this is at the top of your test_helper file to ensure you're running in the test environment.

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"

Hi Ryan,

the test db is certainly different from the development, and

there is a ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = 'test' on top of test_helper.rb.

the problem happens in the rake task db:test:prepare I believe.

also, i am on the gem version of rake 0.8.1

I've run into the exact same problem using Mysql. It looks like it is only an issue on the 2.1 stable branch. The posted change from db:schema:load to db:test:clone works for me.

This actually looks like a duplicate of #670 "loud" migrations + test db prep
