I always thought Enumerable#any? was equivalent to Enumerable#count > 1

But no…

[nil, nil, nil].any?
#=> false

I love PacMan but I am not good at it, not even if my own neighbourhood.

Interesting problem requiring us to remove the where values on an ActiveRecord::Relation. The original heavy handed method seems to play havoc with chained where calls and the id of the original proxy_association.owner would get used in a later where. Here we can see that our for_me method seems to cause the else_id to be the same as our recipient_id

[5] pry(#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_7::Nested_1>)> user.somethings.where(else_id: something.else_id).to_sql
=> "SELECT `somethings`.* FROM `somethings` WHERE `somethings`.`user_id` = 20323 AND `somethings`.`else_id` = 6465  ORDER BY id DESC"
[6] pry(#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_7::Nested_1>)> user.somethings.for_me.where(else_id: something.else_id).to_sql
=> "SELECT `somethings`.* FROM `somethings` WHERE `somethings`.`recipient_id` = 20323 AND `somethings`.`else_id` = 20323  ORDER BY id DESC

when in doubt read the Rails source

# remove user_id = proxy_association.owner.id from scope
    # so it can be reapplied by to_me or for_me
    def global_scope
-      s = respond_to?(:scoped) ? scoped : all
-      s.where_values = []
-      s
+      unscope(where: :user_id)
    end

which is the way that rewhere reassigns values in where rather than chaining again

2.2.2 :006 > Something.where(user_id: 1).where(user_id: 2).to_sql
=> "SELECT `somethings`.* FROM `somethings` WHERE `somethings`.`user_id` = 1 AND `somethings`.`user_id` = 2"
2.2.2 :007 > Something.where(user_id: 1).rewhere(user_id: 2).to_sql
=> "SELECT `somethings`.* FROM `somethings` WHERE `somethings`.`user_id` = 2"

class Creature < ActiveRecord::Base
    scope :is_good_pet, -> {
        where(
            arel_table[:is_cat].eq(true)
            .or(arel_table[:is_dog].eq(true))
            .or(arel_table[:eats_children].eq(false))
        )
    }
end

Nice…

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :pets
end

person.pets.count # => 1
person.pets.many? # => false

person.pets << Pet.new(name: 'Snoopy')
person.pets.count # => 2
person.pets.many? # => true

Whilst trying to clean up old blog posts. I thought I’d just re-assign the whole post on the console. However, the content of the post had code examples and these examples were being interpolated. This makes sense but isn’t what I wanted. These are all (nearly) equivalent other than the new lines.

s =<<-STR
#{Time.now}
STR
# => "2017-01-17 06:43:48 -0500" 

s = %(
#{Time.now}
)
# => "\n2017-01-17 06:43:48 -0500\n"

s = %Q(
#{Time.now}
)
# => "\n2017-01-17 06:43:48 -0500\n"

But what I really want it multi-line string assignment without interpolation.

s = %q(
#{Time.now}
)
# => "\n\#{Time.now}\n"

And without the new lines.

s = %q(
#{Time.now}
).lstrip.chop
# => "\#{Time.now}"
