Do I have to run rake db:test:load each time manually before runnings tests?

I'm new to Ruby on Rails. I'm trying to set up a simple WebApp via Scaffolding. And using RSpec for my tests. Now after the scaffold command:

rails generate scaffold VideoSegment file_path:string short_name:string description:string

I ran rake db:migrate, but thats clear, bringing the data to my development database. But the tests where not green before I did:

rake db:test:load

To bring the schema of my development database to the test database. Isn't there a way to automate this step? Or do I have to load test database again after each scaffold?

PS: Of course I know Scaffold is not doing the finest things, but for my proof of concept need it's sufficient.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Whenever you run rspec it will prepare the test schema for you using the task: db:test:prepare

So after generating migrations you have to do rake db:migrate to update the development schema and then run you spec which will automatically prepare the test database for you.
