Do you know how to solve this? Thanks!

Answer 1

I solved this by deleting a folder in my project folder. I deleted a couple of hidden folders. So if something similar would happen to you (and you are on OS X) just type in your terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

After this you will see hidden folders in Finder. Enter your project folder and delete hidden folders one by one to discover what is the source of the problem.

Answer 2

seems like this is a sqlite3 install issue, Check this thread, hope you also have the same issue
