Ruby on Rails always pointing local redis Server - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am using Redis with my ruby on rails application, To map Ruby object with Redis using redis-objects, dm-core and dm-redis-adapter. Below are the code snipts
Gemfile
gem 'redis-objects'
gem "dm-core", "~> 1.2.1"
gem "dm-redis-adapter"
/config/initializers/redis.rb
// LOCAL REDIS SERVER
Redis.current = Redis.new(:host => '127.0.0.1', :port => 6379)
// REMOTE REDIS SERVER
#Redis.current = Redis.new(:host => '<VM IP>', :port => <VM PORT>, :password => '<PASSWORD>')
Model.rb
DataMapper.setup(:default, {:adapter => "redis"})
class User
include Redis::Objects
include DataMapper::Resource
include ActiveModel::Validations
include ActiveModel::Conversion
# datamapper fields, just used for .create
property :id, Serial
property :name, String
property :email, String
property :des, Text
def id
1
end
end
User.finalize
It's working fine for local redis server. Why app always pointing local redis, Even when providing remote host and port?

Answer 1

As per Question:
// LOCAL REDIS SERVER
Redis.current = Redis.new(:host => '127.0.0.1', :port => 6379)
// REMOTE REDIS SERVER
#Redis.current = Redis.new(:host => '<VM IP>', :port => <VM PORT>, :password => '<PASSWORD>')
Model.rb
DataMapper.setup(:default, {:adapter => "redis"})
In above code, I am overloading Redis configuration in User model.
In that case, I need to write remote configuration in model as well.
DataMapper.setup(:default, {:adapter => "redis", :host => '<VM IP>', :port => <VM PORT>, :password => '<PASSWORD>'})

Redis.current is a method which always gives a new connection if the instance variable #current is empty. See https://github.com/redis/redis-rb/blob/master/lib/redis.rb#L19
def self.current
#current ||= Redis.new
end
Try assigning Redis.new to some other global like $redis. This should mostly fix your issue.
