tests fail as PG::Error: ERROR: relation "merit_actions" does not exist

hello. playing around with merit. simple, does the job, like it.

everything in the app looks fine but I got an error while testing.
I guess there something missing in my test_helper but I couldn't find any clue in the docs nor the code.

 Error: test_should_update_user(UsersControllerTest)
   ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::Error: ERROR:  relation "merit_actions" does not exist
   LINE 4:              WHERE a.attrelid = '"merit_actions"'::regclass
                                           ^
   :             SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod), d.adsrc, a.attnotnull
                 FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d
                  ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
                WHERE a.attrelid = '"merit_actions"'::regclass
                  AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
                ORDER BY a.attnum
 test/functional/users_controller_test.rb:43:in `block in <class:UsersControllerTest>'
     40:   end
      41: 
      42:   test "should update user" do
=> 43:     put :update, :id => @user.to_param, :user => @user.attributes
      44:     # assert_redirected_to user_path(assigns(:user))
      45:     assert_redirected_to user_settings_path
      46:   end

the test is simply:

  test "should update user" do
    put :update, :id => @user.to_param, :user => @user.attributes
    # assert_redirected_to user_path(assigns(:user))
    assert_redirected_to user_settings_path
  end

update: running the migrations on the test DB seems to make the tests pass.
not really sure. I will try to investigate a little to be certain.

Did you run with rake or single files?
Closing the issue as it doesn't seem to be a merit issue, I'll be here anyway for if you need some help.

the command I used was

rake environment RAILS_ENV=test db:migrate

no more problem. sorry for the noise.
