This error occurs when you already have a database.yml which defines the database for the cucumber environment instead of test. (Spreewald database.sample.yml has changed)
Fix
Change cucumber to test in your databse.yml
test: # <---
adapter: mysql2
database: spreewald_test
encoding: utf8
host: localhost
username: root
password: password
