Removes ActiveRecord from all the things.

[nuclearsandwich]

Near as I can tell, we aren't using ActiveRecord. This clears the database.yml, sqlite and pg gems, and related railtie from the application. Which will prevent new (or stale) contributors from going on wild goose chases.

Seems good but the build failed for some reason :(

[nuclearsandwich]

Yeah. Still debugging rake test locally as well (gives a one line error message with no stack trace and rspec spec runs without complaint.

[nuclearsandwich]

So the db:test:prepare task is failing. I'm not sure why yet.

[abhirao]

I took a quick look. It seems we're currently not getting the db:test:prepare task from mongo_mapper. It sees that active record has already defined it so it does not override it.

See line 48 on https://github.com/jnunemaker/mongomapper/blob/master/lib/mongo_mapper/railtie/database.rake

So I think the correct fix would be to add a config by using rails generate mongo_mapper:config. Then you could also clean up the mongo_mapper initializer.

From http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html

db:test:prepare will fail with an error if db/schema.rb doesn’t exist.

I'd rather Rails's db:test:prepare task not exist.

[nuclearsandwich]

Oh, you know, we define a no op db test prepare in https://github.com/hacketyhack/hackety-hack.com/blob/master/lib/tasks/cucumber.rake#L53-L55 I wonder if we're stepping on Mongo's task's toes.

🎊 🍸 Travis says this works. But I hate myself for doing it. @steveklabnik what do you think? Rip out MongoMapper's rake task and go back to a Ruby initializer or use magical erb'd yaml?

[PragTob]

I'd prefer a different solution and don't have a very firm grasp of the problem atm. But can't we just make our tasks NOT depend on take db:test:prepare so we won't need it? Shouldn't it work then or what am I missing (just chiming in from the side :-) )

[nuclearsandwich]

If we decide not to use the rake tasks, I would opt to create shell scripts rather than new rake tasks.

The existing tasks come directly from rspec and cucumber and I believe just run the whole suite. I don't know if the rake tasks themselves pass logic for rerunning tests. The spec_helper.rb and support/env.rb files set up database cleaner but don't explicitly add any seed data.

[steveklabnik]

I dunno what to do.

[nuclearsandwich]

If folks are ambivalent about it, my feeling is to lean toward convention, which is rake tasks and a mongo.yml.
