Local Development Support

[hopeman15]

Hey everyone, I'm new to Ruby/Rails and am looking for some support. I've been following the New contributor guide and have successfully completed all the steps up until Install Growstuff.

Where it gets confusing

For step 2, I copied the contents of env-example to config/application.yml, as I was unable to find config/application.yml.example. Maybe this is where I went wrong 🤔

Database creation issue

When running RAILS_ENV=development rake db:create, I continually get the following error:

could not translate host name "db" to address: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Couldn't create 'growstuff_dev' database. Please check your configuration.
rake aborted!
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished: could not translate host name "db" to address: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I'm using Mac OS X, and I tried it using Postgres via brew and the Postgres.app with the same result.

Any help and or tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏
