Question

I have created a Ruby on Rails application without active records:-

$ rails new rails_using_redis_demo_app --skip-active-record

Now in order to perform database operation to i have to include database.yml file containing the necessary details regarding the database adapter.

I have also include follwing in my gemfile:-

gem 'redis'

I also found that redis actually stores the data in a .rdb file with key value pair, which can be accessed with the help of keys present. Am I doing things in a right manner.

Answer 1

Have you removed all occurences to ActiveRecord in your Rails config files ?

Perhaps you should check your application.rb file.

A typical application.rb file includes

require 'rails/all'

That is what you should write instead to fully remove ActiveRecord

# Pick the frameworks you want:
# require "active_record/railtie"
require "action_controller/railtie"
require "action_mailer/railtie"
require "active_resource/railtie"
require "sprockets/railtie"
# require "rails/test_unit/railtie"

Hope that helps…
