TL;DR

Fixed numeric calculations in Discogs rake tasks to handle zero values and ensure proper type casting.

What changed?

  • Added explicit ::numeric type casting to price calculations in two SQL queries to ensure proper numeric operations
  • Added handling for records with zero guide values to prevent division by zero errors
  • Improved display of price ratio when the guide value is zero, showing "N/A" instead of attempting to calculate a percentage

How to test?

  1. Run the Discogs rake tasks that display price validations and comparisons:
    rake discogs:show_validation_stats
    rake discogs:fix_wrong_prices
    rake discogs:compare_prices
    
  2. Verify that records with zero guide values display properly without errors
  3. Check that high-value records are correctly identified with the proper numeric calculations

Why make this change?

These fixes prevent potential errors when calculating price averages and ratios, particularly when dealing with zero values. The explicit type casting ensures consistent numeric operations across different database systems, and the improved error handling provides more meaningful output when comparing prices between Discogs and guide values.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Enhanced price comparison accuracy with improved numeric type handling.
    • Fixed potential errors in summary displays when handling zero or missing values.
    • Added graceful fallback display (N/A) for edge cases in data summaries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A Rake task for Discogs data processing was enhanced with defensive programming. Price comparisons now cast numeric values explicitly in SQL WHERE clauses. Guard conditions handle zero-valued guide_mid entries by displaying "N/A" and skipping ratio calculations. Final summary ratio display now safely handles potential zero-division scenarios.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Discogs Rake Task Improvements
lib/tasks/discogs.rake
Added numeric type casting in SQL WHERE clauses for price\_low and price\_high comparisons. Implemented guard condition for zero guide\_mid values in Top 20 verification output (displays "N/A", skips ratio computation). Updated final summary ratio display with zero-division check (shows "N/A" when total\_guide is zero).

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through data fields so bright,
With numeric casts to set things right,
And guards against the dreaded zero,
Making this Rake task quite a hero!

187-187: Explicit numeric casting is appropriate for PostgreSQL.

The ::numeric cast ensures consistent arithmetic behavior. However, note that line 269 performs a similar calculation in a SELECT clause without casting:

"(prices.price_low + prices.price_high) / 2.0 as guide_mid"

Consider applying the same casting pattern there for consistency, or verify that the column types already guarantee numeric behavior in SELECT contexts.


210-210: LGTM!

Consistent with the casting pattern used in line 187, and the parameterized query is properly used.


279-284: Good defensive check to prevent division by zero.

The guard correctly handles records with zero guide values. Minor observation: the emoji is also used on line 290 for out-of-range ratios, which could cause slight ambiguity in output interpretation. Consider using a distinct indicator (e.g., or ) for the zero-guide case if differentiation matters.


310-311: LGTM!

Clean handling of the zero-division edge case with a ternary expression. Consistent "N/A" display pattern with the per-record handling above.
