Topic: Creating new application error

After entering console:   

rails new test

get

Can't initialize a new Rails application within the directory of another, please change to a non-Rails directory first.

But there is no application this directory.  WTF?

Re: Creating new application error

Test is a reserved word by Rails; Try to choose a different application name, for example, test_app.

rails new test_app
