using octopus with plain ruby - establish_connection

[thaddeusgeek]

this could work:

require 'active_record'
require 'ar-octopus'
@db = {'host'=>''...............}
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection($db)
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

User.take

how to make this work?

require 'active_record'
require 'ar-octopus'
@db = {'host'=>''...............}

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    establish_connection($db)
end

User.take

the problem is located at proxy.rb line 15

@shards[:master] = ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool()

by watching connection_pool.rb line 579
octopus is looking for "ActiveRecord::Base" in @class_to_pool

does this mean one project can only have one master connection config?
what if i need 2 masters : a_master, b_master
and 4 slaves: a_slave_1, a_slave_2, b_slave_1, b_slave2

Hi @seoaqua ,

Yes, the project can have only one master. All other databases should be specified as shards in the shards.yml file.

I'm closing this issue. If you have any additional problems, please feel free to reopen.
