Rails 4.1.0 and Rspec not working when no ActiveRecord

votes

I currently have a ruby on rails project where I am not using ActiveRecord. On rails 4.0.8 it works fine, when I upgrade to rails 4.1.4 it fails with a ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished. I cannot figure out how to disable it trying to connect to active record.

I have set config.use_transactional_fixtures = false in the spec file

In my config/application.rb file I have

# Pick the frameworks you want:                                                    
# require "active_record/railtie"                                                  
require 'action_controller/railtie'                                                
require 'action_mailer/railtie'                                                    
require 'sprockets/railtie'                                                        
# require "rails/test_unit/railtie"

The project that has the following:

ruby 2.1.2
rails 4.0.8
rspec-rails 3.0.2

This is the stack trace I get:

My spec/spec_helper.rb is the default blank one with lots of comments, my rspec helper is as follows:

if ENV['COVERAGE']
  require 'simplecov'
  require 'simplecov-console'
  require 'coveralls'

  SimpleCov.minimum_coverage 100

  SimpleCov.formatter = SimpleCov::Formatter::MultiFormatter[
    SimpleCov::Formatter::HTMLFormatter,
    SimpleCov::Formatter::Console,
    Coveralls::SimpleCov::Formatter,
  ]

  SimpleCov.start 'rails'
end

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require 'rails_helper'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'shoulda/matchers'

Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!

  config.before :all do
    CouchPotato.couchrest_database.create!
  end

  config.before do
    if CouchPotato.couchrest_database.info['update_seq'] > 0
      CouchPotato.couchrest_database.recreate!
    end
  end
end

Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks.

Your test appears to be using fixtures, which require activerecord. Can you gist your rails_helper/spec_helper? – sevenseacat
show database.yml please. – Зелёный
