I have to establish connection to a database different than defined for development environment. Here is how I added the specific connection to *database.yml*:
default: ... development: ... test: .... mystore: adapter: oracle_enhanced host: <%= ENV['mystore_db_host']%> port: <%= ENV['mystore_db_port']%> database: <%= ENV['mystore_db_name']%> username: <%= ENV['mystore_db_user']%> password: <%= ENV['mystore_db_password']%> So I create a base model class as follows: module MystoreMigration class MystoreModel < ApplicationRecord establish_connection(:mystore) unless Rails.env.test? end end Than I have some model defined that inherit the above class, for example: module MystoreMigration class StoreInfo < MystoreModel ... end end It works fine in development environment but when running tests and mocking the above models, Rails is still trying to establish the connection. To make it work, I had to add the same environment variables to *test* section in *Figaro* gem *application.yml* file: development: mystore_db_host: "XXXX" mystore_db_port: "XXXX" mystore_db_name: "XXXX" mystore_db_user: "XXXX" mystore_db_password: "XXXX" .... test: mystore_db_host: "XXXX" mystore_db_port: "XXXX" mystore_db_name: "XXXX" mystore_db_user: "XXXX" mystore_db_password: "XXXX" If I remove the variables from test environment, the following simple test where I mock the model class as follows: RSpec.describe MystoreMigration::StoreMigrator do let(:shop) { build(:shop) } let(:store) { double(MystoreMigration::StoreInfo)} let(:store_migrator) { MystoreMigration::StoreMigrator.new([store]) } describe 'initialization' do it 'should have stores initialized' do expect(store_migrator.stores).not_to be_empty end end Class under test (just to chesk the constructor): module MystoreMigration class StoreMigrator def initialize(stores = []) @stores = stores end ... fails with error: OCIError: ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified # oci8.c:561:in oci8lib_250.bundle # /Users/Serguei/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.0/gems/ruby-oci8-2.2.5.1/lib/oci8/oci8.rb:142:in `initialize' What's wrong with that ?
