Hi,

I have a rails application that has a Application controller that
exposes REST API. And for the data I am using a third party module
instead of rails Model.

REST API:
 http://myApp/plugins

Route.rb:
 match "/plugins"  => "plugins#get_plugins", :via => "get"

My controller has following method:
 def get_plugins
   render :text=> third_party_module.get_plugins()
 end

third_party_module.get_plugins() is the third party module that returns
data.

Functional test file: plugins_controller_test.rb has the following test
method:
 test "should get plugins" do
   get :get_plugins
   assert_response :success
 end

When I am trying to run functional test, it gives following error:
"db/schema.rb doesn't exist yet. Run "rake db:migrate" to create it then
try again"

As I am not using any database.

Please help.

I can reproduce your problem.

On rails 3.1.3, when installing the "standard" way, I get this:

peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp/with_AR$ rails new with_AR --skip-bundle
...
# add gem 'therubyracer' to Gemfile and run `bundle install`
...
peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp/with_AR$ rake environment
peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp/with_AR$ rake test:functionals
/home/peterv/data/backed_up/rails-apps/apps/temp/with_AR/db/schema.rb doesn't exist yet. Run "rake db:migrate" to create it then try again. If you do not intend to use a database, you should instead alter /home/peterv/data/backed_up/rails-apps/apps/temp/with_AR/config/application.rb to limit the frameworks that will be loaded

So, to me this is quite clear about the issue ...

As easy solution, I then installed without ActiveRecord (read `rails help` to find out):

peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp$ rails new without_AR --skip-bundle --skip-active-record
...
# add gem 'therubyracer' to Gemfile and run `bundle install`
...
peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp/without_AR$ rake environment
peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp/without_AR$ rake test:functionals
#=> OK

The difference is this:

peterv@ASUS:~/b/rails-apps/apps/temp/without_AR$ diff ../with_AR/config/application.rb config/application.rb 
3c3,9
< require 'rails/all'

# So, replace the require 'replace/all' with a selective require

< module WithAR

> module WithoutAR

# this is just the name change (irrelevant)

You will see there are many more interesting options in `rails help`.

HTH,
