Rails - Feb 2011 - rake db:create (in development mode) creates development _and_ test database

This behaviour seems strange to me:

Rails 3.0.4

$ rake db:create
# => creates project_dev AND project_test databases

$ rake db:drop
# => only drops the project_dev database (as expected)

$ RAILS_ENV=test rake db:drop
# => this effectively drops the project_test database (as expected)

Seems in conflict with this description:

$ rake -T db:create
rake db:create  # Create the database from config/database.yml for the
current Rails.env
(use db:create:all to create all dbs i...

$ rake -T db:drop
rake db:drop  # Drops the database for the current Rails.env
(use db:drop:all to drop all databases)

If this is not the intended behaviour, I can submit a bug report in
rails-core and probably work up a patch too. Catting my Gemfile here
(just did bundle update with this):

$ cat Gemfile
source ''http://rubygems.org''

gem ''rails'', ''3.0.4''
gem ''pg'', ''0.10.1''
gem ''capistrano''
gem ''openminds_deploy''

group :development, :test do
  gem ''rspec-rails'', ''>= 2.0.0''
  gem ''cucumber-rails'', ''>= 0.3.2''
  gem ''webrat'', ''>= 0.7.2''
  gem ''autotest''
end

HTH,

Peter

I guess the document for db:create need to be updated:

  # activerecord/lib/active_record/railties/databases.rake#36
  desc ''Create the database from config/database.yml for the current
Rails.env (use db:create:all to create all dbs in the config)''
  task :create => :load_config do
    # Make the test database at the same time as the development one, if it
exists
    if Rails.env.development? &&
ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[''test'']
     
create_database(ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[''test''])
    end
    create_database(ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[Rails.env])
  end
