two spec failures with rails 6.0.3

Hello,

when trying to run the specs with rails 6.0.3 and ruby2.7.2 (Debian unstable), I get the following failures:

Is there any prior action required before running rspec in order to ensure it passes?

Hm, took a quick look and it seems that starting from version 6.0.3 there is a change that is not backward compatible. I also see the same issue in rails 6.1. Are you familiar with the change (sorry, haven't been in Rails land for over 1.5 years). Do you know what it's about?

[OlegGirko]

I'm not proficient in Rails, but from what I found from digging in the source code, database in spec is configured for test Rails environment, whereas Rails.env is set to development by default.

Running RAILS_ENV=test rspec spec results in all tests being successful.

[ilyakatz]

can you try the latest version, @lewhit made some changes in other PR's that may have fixed this

[OlegGirko]

I see changes related to Rails 6.1, but I use Rails 6.0. The workaround with RAILS_ENV=test environment variable is enough for me.
