Connection not active after establish_connection since activerecord 7.2

rubyonrails-core

Hi,

While upgrading to ActiveRecord 7.2 from 7.1 we noticed the following change:

# AR 7.1
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(db_config)
puts ActiveRecord::Base.connection.active?
> true

This changed in AR 7.2 though:

# AR 7.2
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(db_config)
puts ActiveRecord::Base.connection.active?
> false

I can’t find anything in the change log indicating this changed? So are there any implications due to this change?

We are using postgres 16.4 ruby 3.3

This was indeed changed and clarified here: Calling connection.active? after establish_connection returns false since AR 7.2.0 · Issue #52858 · rails/rails · GitHub
