Error when testing RoR Application "Could not find table 'statuses'"

I am in Building a Simple RoR application and trying to test the app.

I keep getting the following error anytime I try to run a test:

 1) Error:test_that_/login_route_opens_the_login_page(CustomRoutesTest):
 ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Could not find table 'statuses'

Anyone know what I can do to get tests working?

Your test database is not there. Run:

rake db:test prepare

Thanks Brandon for your response: I ran the code you said to and ran the test. I got the following error <class:TestCast>':uninitialized constant Devise::TestHeplers (NameError)

From doing some more digging it seemed I need to add the following to my Gem file which I did but it still didn't work: require 'Devise'

still getting <class:TestCase>': uninitialized constant Devise::TestHeplers (NameError)

Any ideas?

In your Gemfile, try addding

gem 'devise'

instead. "require 'Devise" isn't the correct syntax for a Gemfile. After you've done that, in your console run

bundle install

This will install all of the gems that are listed in your Gemfile, which will now include the Devise gem. :)
