Back in the day, `all` would immediately load up a query into an array, but now I think it's an alias for what `scoped` used to be: a relation that contains everything.
I want to test some logged-in stuff, but the whole openneo_id app is a mess to integrate with (and I want to eliminate it down the line anyway), so here's a simple hacky thing that just gets you into a test user for development!
During this upgrade process, `rails server` hasn't been updating its logic when files changed, so every change had to be accompanied by a restart.
This turned out to be because Vagrant's networked filesystem to share between the host and guest systems doesn't support the filesystem update events Rails is listening for. So, we switch to a simpler file watcher that does more work but doesn't depend on the filesystem events!
It's unused, and I'm just double-checking that it's not somehow causing the issues with the rails dev server not reloading classes. (The `threadsafe!` option would do that, but I don't thiiiink this is the env we're running? But I'm wondering if the loader is getting confused by the prefixiness of the name or something. Unlikely!)
This is recommended by the Rails 4.0 upgrade guide:
> The caching method changed between Rails 3.x and 4.0. You should change the cache namespace and roll out with a cold cache.
I noticed too that old cache entries with old character encodings were a real problem, so yeah making sure we're working with a cold cache is smart!!
Not being a subquery is better! I realized later that a LEFT JOIN would probably do it even betterer? with like `HAVING count(x) = 0`? but the `left_outer_joins` method doesn't seem to be in Rails 4, and I don't want to do stringy joins, so this is fine for now!
Right, previously we were querying "has *at least one asset* that is not in zone X" instead of "has NO assets that are in zone X".
I don't know a fast way to query for that, this will have to do for now!
Not doing the tricks with `is_positive` anymore, instead just calling different functions altogether at the call site.
Also, instead of classes, I feel like this is a lot more concise to just write as class methods that create certain instances of a trivial `Filter` data class. Without the tricks of `is_positive` in play, the value of classes goes way down imo.
Ohh ok, without this change all of our `scope`s were just immediately evaluating the argument and fetching _all_ such matching records immediately, instead of waiting to actually be called. This led to bugs like `pet_type.as_json` returning ALL pet states in the whole db, because the `PetState.emotion_order` scope was being treated as a single predefined query, rather than a query fragment to merge into the current context.
This also explains what happened in 724ed83: that's why things before the scope in the query were being ignored.
lol again this is hard to test so uhh I hope this didn't break it all!! though tbh I feel like we removed this feature or something anyway? idk it stopped working in some way
Tbh I'm not 100% sure this is a fix, I'm not sure what `haml_concat` was doing here, and the page is still crashing so it's hard to say. But fingers crossed!
Idk why, but when the `select` was the first thing in the query, it was getting ignored. I wonder if there's something about the `object_assets` scope that I'm not understanding that's overwriting it? Or the `joins`? But whatever, this works, I'm not worried about it for now!
The controller was like "oh yeah we have that cached" (from previous renders of the app on Rails 3 I think?), but the view disagreed, bc it was appending a template digest to the cache key. That's a smart feature, but not compatible with how we skip queries in the controller, so disable it for now!
Rails 4 removed `attr_accessible`, and we should move away from it to (I think we'll need to by Rails 5?), but for now we can install this and move on!
We'll need to replace the item search query stuff with direct MySQL queries, but that's not ready yet bc the app still isn't booting, so we're committing this in a known broken state for now!
