Dealing with "rake aborted! Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ unlink_internal - /tmp/db/new.sqlite3"

I kept receiving this error while trying to run my tests. I am using rails 4 so I looked for my own solution which is shared here. I was wondering if anyone had the same problem if they found a different workaround.

I think the issue had to do with my test.sqlite3 file being empty.

I was able to get around this issue by running a migration using:

rake db:migrate rails_env=test

Followed by:

rake test test/models/user_test.rb

I believe the default setting for rails_env is "dev" and using "test" ensured the test.sqlite3 file was used.

Everything worked well afterwards. Did anyone else running rails 4 have the same problem?
