establishing persistence issues with scorekeeper

[jongross]

I cloned a new copy, did a bundle install, and fire things up to see how the example scorekeeper worked, but I am struggling to get things functional.

I did a

DB=scorekeeper rake db:migrate 

and sqlite shows a valid schema when I hit the resulting database file to check things out.

I fire the app up, and it joins the channel, and I type this:

!points foo +1

and these logs are thrown:

Example (Stem): << :jonger!~jong@jonger.olympus.f5net.com PRIVMSG #t :!points foo +1
undefined method `include?' for nil:NilClass

Almost as if the database isn't being finalized?

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
