Setup

[JonoSommers]

Regardless of which setup option you choose, you will need to make database migrations to complete this project. Our initial database setup happens when running rails db:seed because we’re using a Postgres database dump file. You might run into issues if you reset your database (i.e. drop it and recreate it). Typically, Rails doesn’t allow you to run your seeds file before you run database migrations, but you will have to do that on your project since your seeding step sets up the preliminary database. If you need to reset your database, run the following in this order:

rails db:{drop,create}
rails runner ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.load_seed
rails db:migrate
