I just did a test where I ran one spec and deep deep within the code under test, I printed out the DB connection of the AR class of a given object, like so:
puts invoice.class.connection.inspect My spec requires spec_helper.rb, which supposedly sets the Rails environment to be "test". However, the output of that inspect looks like this: .#<ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter:0x46625e8 @last_verification=1 223509519, @logger=#<ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger:0x3590008 @buffer=[], @no_blo ck=false, @level=0, @auto_flushing=1, @log=#<File:X:/log/development.log>>, @run time=0.0, @quoted_table_names={"draft_invoices"=>"`draft_invoices`"}, @connectio n=#<Mysql>, @quoted_column_names={"draft_invoices"=>"`draft_invoices`"}, @query_ cache_enabled=false, @config={:password=>"blah", :username=>"root", :adapt er=>"mysql", :database=>"my_db_development", :encoding=>"utf8", :host=>"mach ost", :allow_concurrency=>false}, @connection_options=["machost", "root", "r3n&s t1mpy", "aafes_vss_development", nil, nil]> Notice @config={:password=>"blah", :username=>"root", :adapt er=>"mysql", :database=>"my_db_development", :encoding=>"utf8", :host=>"mach ost", :allow_concurrency=>false} which shows that I am hitting my development database. Why would I see this output when running a spec that AFAIK, should be running against the test DB?
