Exception encountered: #<ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified: test database is not configured> about spork

[timcharper]

I've got one idea at least. Try 0.9.0 rc2 and let me know if you still get this.

Now I have another exception with the rc2:

Exception encountered: #<NameError: uninitialized constant User>

Hey Thibaud. I've got exactly the same problem and error messages as you - both with spork 0.9.0.rc, and with 0.9.0.rc2. But I have no solution :(

[thibaudgg]

Sadly, I still got this problem. Tim any ideas to fix this? I really want to use Spork with Rails3 :-)

[Metallord]

This still happens for me on rc9. I'm using Ruby 1.9.2p290. I use Devise for my User model and I am doing what the wiki says about trapping Rails::Application::RoutesReloader.reload!. However if I remove that bit from the prefork it complains about undefined constant AlphabeticallyFirstHelper, so it seems to not load some bits of the application. I tested this on rails 3.1.0 and 3.1.1.rc1.

This may be related to issue #141

[Metallord]

Also related to issue #66. Removing config.threadsafe! from application.rb helped, but this is just a workaround.
