Hi Everyone,
I’ve just updated my Rails install to 1.0 and have noticed that the
ActiveRecord connection handling is somewhat different. I’ll explain…
I’ve declared a block handler that will change the connection for
ActiveRecord::Base prior to yielding to the block, then restore the
original connection (see code snippet below). I’m doing this in order
to allow for setup code in my unit tests to run as an admin user. This
way I don’t have to grant unneeded privileges for my application user
just so the unit tests will run. Does anyone understand the connection
handling and how it changed enough to help?
Thanks,
Matt
