Dropping the database in Rails

Question

~/Rails Projects/QA-app$ rake db:drop
rake aborted!
Gem::LoadError: You have already activated rake 10.3.2, but your Gemfile requires rake 10.1.1. Using bundle exec may solve this.

Can someone tell me what happened? And what can I do to get rid of this problem? — redilhom

Try running it under bundle exec like it says? Seems a good place to start. — Dave Newton

It says "Using bundle exec may solve this." so try bundle exec rake db:drop — Tamer Shlash

I tried with bundle exec it did work, but seems like I have to enter bundle exec every time. Any answers to that? — redilhom

Remove the non-bundle rake gem and install the version from the Gemfile. — Dave Newton

Run the command using bundle exec(bundle exec rake db:drop) to force the version of rake that is used by your application.

Just run `bundle update and update your app. The version of Rake that it is looking for is 10.1.1 but your version of Rake has already been updated to 10.3.2

You can't just go updating all gems willy nilly on a larger project without running into problems. If you don't want to have to prefix bundle exec, then just run bundle update rake.

This is what worked for me:

rm -rf Gemfile.lock

Then run bundle install if needed, and rake db:(whatever) goes without error.
