upcoming Rails 6 multi-database

[rpbaltazar]

Linking a few issues still open in the original apartment that I think might be worth to look at in the immediate:

• Can't start rails after upgrading rails 5.2.3 to 6.0 influitive/apartment#617
• Is it possible to use the Apartment gem WITHOUT rails? influitive/apartment#602
• Incompatible with Postgresql 11.1 influitive/apartment#571
• #switch! always establish connection leads to threads leak influitive/apartment#565
• [Enhance document] Apartment::Elevator middleware must be inserted after ActionDispatch::Reloader influitive/apartment#563
• upcoming Rails 6 multi-database influitive/apartment#559

@rpbaltazar hello, I use apartment in production with rails 6.0.2.1 and could help you with some pull requests if needed.
I tried your version but I'm getting the error described here: #3

Let me know if you need help

Hi @jean-francois-labbe sounds good. I'm planning to go over a few things over the weekend and see what i can start doing with the read/write databases for rails 6. I'll update this issue with the findings.
I'm more than happy to have some more people involved in this

@jean-francois-labbe I've created a rails-6-demo from a boilerplate repo I found.
I've added the latest ros-apartment gem and tried the read/write replica feature in rails 6. I have not found any issues in this sample app.
It looks like its working and I have not encountered any issues.

Closing this issue for now as we're running rails 6 without any known issues.

@rpbaltazar - We are looking to switch to this fork of apartment and upgrade to rails 6.

Since this gem requires the original aparment, the gemspec there is still locking rails < 6.0 Is there a recommended way to unlock that?

[rpbaltazar]

This actually does not require the original gem. require: 'apartment' is needed because the gem name does not match the main module but it is entirely independent. In fact there is a ticket proposing to detach from the original fork
