David: Thanks for your help. I've followed the set-up instructions in the "BDD in Rails" chapter successfully up to the "rake db:test:prepare" step. At that point, I get the following error:
rake aborted! no such file to load -- sqlite3 I've attached a document containing my "gem list" output showing the presence of the sqlite3-ruby gem and other associated dependencies. The document also gives the content of my database.yml file for reference. I'm using mysql for my development and production databases. When I try to switch my test database to mysql too, by editing the "test:" section of database.yml, I get the following error: rake aborted! Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Both of these errors are widely-discussed on message boards, stack overflow, etc., but none of the fixes I've found so far there seem to help. Any suggestions for how to make either test database approach (sqlite3 or mysql) work would be greatly appreciated.
