Question

    remote:        
    Gem::LoadError: 
    **strong text**Specified 'postgresql' for database adapter, but the 
     gem is not loaded. Add `gem 'pg'` to your Gemfile (and ensure its 
      version is at the minimum required by ActiveRecord).

I have this loaded in the gem file:

    source 'https://rubygems.org'

    git_source(:github) do |repo_name|
   repo_name = "#{repo_name}/#{repo_name}" unless repo_name.include?
    ("/") "https://github.com/#{repo_name}.git"
    end

^^End of Gem File

I ran bundle install -without production. And this does not work. Not sure where I am going wrong here.

Answer 1

Specify the version of pg in your gemfile. I was once receiving the same error and this line worked for me.

gem 'pg', '~> 0.18' 

instead of just gem 'pg'

Answer 2

Move the line

gem 'pg'

outside group :production

so the gem will be installed in any type of environment
