Issue with sample code; pending migrations won't go away

[jajames30]

Hi Aaron,

I am working my way through your book "Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec" published 2024-12-30. I am really enjoying it and am finding it very helpful -- thanks! I have run into a roadblock though.

I downloaded the Rails 7.1 edition source code zip file from https://everydayrails.com/rspecbook/. Chapters 01 and 02 work fine. When I type "rspec" it runs a test. However, chapters 03 through 06 don't work. I didn't try 07 or 08. Here's what happens:

$ rspec

Migrations are pending. To resolve this issue, run:

        bin/rails db:migrate

You have 9 pending migrations:

db/migrate/20240425020637_create_categories.rb
db/migrate/20240425021439_create_recipes.rb
db/migrate/20240425022102_create_active_storage_tables.active_storage.rb
db/migrate/20240425023144_create_users.rb
db/migrate/20240425024927_add_user_to_recipes.rb
db/migrate/20240427192644_create_favorites.rb
db/migrate/20240505193154_create_comments.rb
db/migrate/20240505203455_add_nickname_to_users.rb
db/migrate/20240507015047_add_api_token_to_user.rb

While loading ./spec/models/recipe_spec.rb an `exit` / `raise SystemExit` occurred, RSpec will now quit.
Failure/Error: abort e.to_s.strip

When I run
$ rails db:migrate:status
it says

---

database: storage/development.sqlite3

When I run rails db:migrate or rake db:migrate, nothing changes. When I run bin/rails db: migrate, it says -bash: bin/rails: Permission denied

I have googled this extensively and can't find anything that helps.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
