db:create task fails if routes touch the database

[artm]

We are using devise's devise_for in routes which accesses the database.

When setting up CI environment rake db:create fails because it loads the environment, which includes routes, which fails trying to access the database.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a new project
2. add to routes.rb:

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.table_exists? :users

3. rake db:create

Expected behavior

A database is created

Actual behavior

Rake fails with "database doesn't exist"

System configuration

Rails version: 5.2.x

Ruby version: doesn't matter

After further investigation: devise wasn't supposed to touch the database, the problem was with a different gem (bitwise_attributes, see their issue 81).
