Build all tables within testing database from schema.rb

I am trying to implement testing and realized I need to create a testing database.

Now what I need to do (I think) is do something like a rake db:schema:load, but I want to specify that I am doing this for the test database (not the development database or the production database. I don't want to delete any of the data there!)

I attempted rake db:test:schema:load but that was not working.

Searches online advise using commands that appear to be deprecated for rails 4.1 or later.

Answer based on feedback:

RAILS_ENV=test rake db:schema:load

If you want to specify that you are creating the "test" database:

RAILS_ENV=test rake db:create

The RAILS_ENV environmental variable will allow you to specify which environment you wish to use. These environments will be defined in your "config/database.yml". Ensure that you have a test environment setup and a database specified under it. This can be done to any task that you would like to affect a particular environment.

RAILS_ENV=test rake any:task:here
