Re: [Rails] Chain scopes with OR

The problem of the first solution is that "find_in_coverage | find_known_missing" combined that way does not return a scope. It returns two arrays each and applies | operator on the result. See: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Array.html#method-i-7C

I've looked arel docs (in fact, I just found poor docs). Can you please point me where in docs is explaining how I can construct such query?

Have you read the README for arel? (https://github.com/rails/arel)

"The OR operator works like this:

users.where(users[:name].eq('bob').or(users[:age].lt(25)))"

I don't think you can do this through scopes, so working arel is the best alternative, but it may just be more hassle than you need. If you want a really hacky solution, I've done stuff like this in the past:

recipe_query = Recipe.where("pastry_id = 1").where("filling_id = 1")

Recipe.where(recipe_query.where_values.join(" OR "))

That generates:

SELECT "recipes".* FROM "recipes" WHERE (pastry_id = 1 OR filling_id = 1)

That might give you some ideas. It goes without saying that this is some hacky stuff you're getting into, so I'd tread carefully!

To add to that, if you want to construct complex queries, you should have a look at arel.

AFAIK, something like this should work:

def find_visibles

    find_in_coverage | find_known_missing

end

Hi all!

I've googled all over and I couldn't find anything about chaining scopes with OR instead of the default AND. 

I have an Asset model with the following scopes:

class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base

(...)

  scope :find_in_coverage, lambda { where('timestamp(assets.found_at) >= ?', Asset.found_at_limit) }

  scope :find_unknown_in_coverage, where('assets.asset_type_id IS NULL').find_in_coverage

  scope :find_known_missing, lambda { where('assets.found_at < ? AND assets.asset_type_id IS NOT NULL', Asset.found_at_limit) }

end

I would like to create another scope ("find_visibles") which is the OR of "find_in_coverage" and "find_known_missing" scopes, like that:

scope :find_visibles, find_in_coverage.find_know_missing

The problem is that this method chain uses AND to concatenate WHERE clauses. I need this clauses to be concatenated using OR instead.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,

Gustavo Honorato
