Hi Erin Claudio,

Did you solved your problem? If not, did you runbundle install ?

The issue is clearly saying that your gem specified on your gemfile sqlite3 is not loaded. Running bundle will load/download all the missing dependencies/gems for your project.

Let me know if this fixed your issue.

Gracias Ethan,

  1. Thank you for reading my issue and responding.
  2. It was an issue with not have the correct version of Sqlite3 and going into the gemlock and changing out the version I needed. you are correct it was a version of bundle install and an updating.
