ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError: FATAL: database "spark-starter-kit_development" does not exist - PG::ConnectionBad: FATAL: database "spark-starter-kit_development" does not exist about spree_starter HOT 3 CLOSED

What command did you use to initialize the project? bin/setup? This command should have created the database locally and populated it.

Otherwise, to set up the DB:

rails db:migrate:reset
rails db:seed

I recommend running bin/setup from the project root though

Ok, put a little more effort into it and found this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17933522/postgres-on-rails-fatal-database-does-not-exist

The accepted answer worked for me, I just needed to rake db:create:all then rake db:migrate and it seems to have done the trick.

Perhaps if that command isn't in bin/setup I should create a PR to add it?

Yep, I used bin/setup, and tried both those commands already. Same error each time:

I'm thinking it's a Postgress problem rather than Rails but I've never had PG problems before and this seems unique to this project.
