I know this is an old threat, but I found this to be the only relevant conversation regarding this error.
In my case, I'm loading the models (requiring the model class files) in a Sinatra app, at the config.ru bootstrap stage. The actual connection to the database is handled from within the app, which is initialized after rackup runs though the config.ru file. Thus, the models are loaded prior to the db connection. I came across this when upgrading Sequel from version 3.30.0 to 3.42.0. Previously (at least as of 3.30.0), models did not complain about being loaded prior to database connection, so why the change now? Any way to disable this behavior (other than sticking to older versions of Sequel)?
