I was unable to reproduce this just now with a fresh install and an empty database.

Out of curiosity, what's your pod's configuration? (OS, database type, etc). By having these details, it may make it easier to pinpoint exactly what's causing your issue. :)

The error is gone when I use DeadSuperhero's branch at https://github.com/DeadSuperHero/diaspora/

[Paul S.]

I am trying to develop on Mac OS X 10.7.4, ruby 1.9.3, rails 3.2.8, postgresql 9.1. I am relatively new to rails (and to programming in general), so trying to make sense of the process. 

[Sean Tilley]

While I'm flattered that you're using my branch, you might want to pull from the official Github repo in the future. Mine occasionally falls behind with updates, since mine is not exactly a shining example of rapid development. I just use it for making Pull Requests.

On the other hand, mine was updated a few hours ago, to be in line with upstream. Curiouser and curiouser!

If the error comes up for you again in the future, please let us know. I'd be interested in figuring out what's causing this problem exactly.
