What does this Devise error mean?

Question

When I try to run my rails server I get the following error (Important note: I have just pulled my code from Github to Nitrous.Io, and was starting to work on the application):

/home/action/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/activesupport-4.0.0/lib/active_support/inflector/methods.rb:226:in `const_get': uninitialized constant User (NameEr

Looks like your database hasn't yet been created.

The most likely solution would be to run rake db:migrate if you're using sqlite, though if you're using Postgres or Mysql on Nitrous, you'll need to install them first. There is a guide to what's available here http://help.nitrous.io/categories/databases/

I tried to rake db:migrate and it said: uninitialized constant User – kikomello Nov 18 '13 at 00:04
Out of curiosity, did you go back at any point and alter any of your migrations? – muttonlamb Nov 18 '13 at 00:08
Not that I can recollect. I am running on code that was pulled from Github, since I lost my code from the Nitrous.io website and had to import it again. I am a starter so sorry about the ignorance ;) – kikomello Nov 18 '13 at 00:17
That's all good, if you want to share the Github repo (unless it's private), Me or some other kind soul on here will take a look and see if there is anything obvious. – muttonlamb Nov 18 '13 at 00:40
So I've just done the following in my nitrous.io `git clone https://github.com/franciscomello/pinteresting.git` `cd pinteresting` `bundle install` `rake db:migrate` and it works fine. Perhaps you could try trashing the nitrous.io folder and cloning the repo again ? – muttonlamb Nov 18 '13 at 13:50
