Undefined method with for Model

[leoplct]

I have added
gem 'active_record_extended'
then bundle

but I get this error

irb(main):005:0> Profile.with(test: Profile.all)
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from (irb):5
NoMethodError (undefined method `with' for #<Class:0x00007fab63c67c88>)

irb(main):007:0> Profile.public_methods.include?(:with)
=> false

What could be the reason?

Gemfile.lock

active_record_extended (1.4.0)
      activerecord (>= 5.0, < 6.1)
      ar_outer_joins (~> 0.2)
      pg (< 2.0)

config/boot.rb

ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path('../Gemfile', __dir__)

require 'bundler/setup' # Set up gems listed in the Gemfile.
require 'bootsnap/setup' # Speed up boot time by caching expensive operations.

config/application.rb

require_relative 'boot'
require 'rails/all'
# Require the gems listed in Gemfile, including any gems
# you've limited to :test, :development, or :production.

Which Rail's version are you running?

[leoplct]

rails (6.0.3.4)
ruby 2.7.1

[GeorgeKaraszi]

Are you using classic or Zeitwerk autoloader?

[leoplct]

I am not sure about. It's not present in the Gemfile, but i found this in Gemfile.lock. I've tried to delete Gemfile.lock and re "bundle install" but it's still being added to Gemfile.lock.

activesupport (6.0.3.4)
      concurrent-ruby (~> 1.0, >= 1.0.2)
      i18n (>= 0.7, < 2)
      minitest (~> 5.1)
      tzinfo (~> 1.1)
      zeitwerk (~> 2.2, >= 2.2.2)
zeitwerk (2.4.2)

I have searched for the word "Zeitwerk" across all files and it's present only in Gemfile.lock. No other references.

[GeorgeKaraszi]

If you never went into your application.rb file and explicitly set the config to use classic loader, then I got a feeling its the cause of not only your's, but other peoples issues too.

couple of temp fixes you can try until I can address zeitwerk:

in your config/application.rb file, insert this line: config.autoloader = :classic

otherwise you can add require "active_record_extended" after the require "rails"

[leoplct]

I have tried both options but I got the same error. I have tried to comment all inside "Application" class but it's the same.

I think it's something related to the .with method.

This works -> Item.where.any(field: 'text')
This works -> Item.where.contains(field: ['text'])
This not works -> Profile.with(test: Profile.all)
This not works -> User.define_window(:no_order_name).partition_by(:email)

NoMethodError (undefined method define_window' for #<Class:0x00007fb1c4a406a0>) NoMethodError (undefined method with' for #Class:0x00007febc1cc15a0)

Try replacing the gem with gem "active_record_extended", git: "https://github.com/GeorgeKaraszi/ActiveRecordExtended.git"

I haven't done a new release quite yet. And the current Master branch includes a lot of Rails 6.0 fixes.

Edit:

I wanna redact my zeitwerk auto loader issue. I just spun up a new Rails 6 project and saw no issue in regard to it.

[leoplct]

Tried. Same error.

[GeorgeKaraszi]

It's hard to say tbh... I just created a new Rails 6.0.x project. And all I did was add the gem to the gemfile and its working for me, out of the box.

[leoplct]

ok, It seems the issue it's caused by
gem 'resque'
it works if I remove this gem.

[GeorgeKaraszi]

hmmm, I'm glad your problem is solved. But it brings up another question as to why that gem would affect this one 🤔.

[Samsinite]

I'm getting the same error as well, don't have resque installed (we use sidedkiq).

[Samsinite]

@GeorgeKaraszi could it be due to how active record extended is being mixed into active record? What if it used the ActiveSupport.on_load :active_record do ... end hook to extend the functionality similar to how kaminari does it (https://github.com/kaminari/kaminari/blob/cd8601cc42b67267c15a13174bc2fc9bd5de1032/kaminari-activerecord/lib/kaminari/activerecord.rb).

[Samsinite]

I also do not see it in the ActiveRecord::Base.ancestors chain, or anything inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base, so I'm pretty sure the issue is how it is being included into ActiveRecord::Base.

[leoplct]

Any updates on this?
I have updated to 2.0 but still getting the same error

User.with(test: User.all)
NoMethodError (undefined method `with' for #<Class:0x00007fdf113a6ef0>)

[skyeagle]

I've found a workaround for now:

config/application.rb

require "rails/all"

require "active_record_extended"  # <-- add this before rails configuration 

thanks for the amazing gem!

[leoplct]

Great! This works for me too.

[pirj]

The gem includes itself:

ActiveRecord::Relation.prepend(ActiveRecordExtended::QueryMethods::Unionize)

To my best knowledge, this is prone to load order errors. To be a good citizen, Railtie mechanism would better be used, e.g:

ActiveSupport.on_load :active_record do
  ActiveRecord::Relation.prepend ActiveRecordExtended::QueryMethods::Unionize
end

See example and doc.

Another lead that might reveal the mystery is one of the comments above:

Item.where.any(field: 'text') # works
Profile.with(test: Profile.all) # doesn't work

Is it ActiveRecord::Relation that is the right one to extend?

class C < ActiveRecord::Base
end
C.ancestors.include?(ActiveRecord::Relation)
=> false

🤔

[pirj]

Bump

[GeorgeKaraszi]

Made some significant changes to the gem's loading ability. I would suggest pulling the latest branch down to test if the recent changes has solved some of these lingering problems. I suspect this is a chicken or egg problem with what is getting loaded first.

I've tested the master branch, and it seems to be fixing the issue. Thank you for your excellent work on this gem!

[GeorgeKaraszi]

closing this issue since recent changes might have resolved this concern. Open a new issue if this persists.
