Huh! This cache key seemed to only be referenced in checks and expirations, but was never actually used! So I guess we've been loading the modeling predictions every time for a while huh??
We'll get smarter about that someday, but anyway, that lets us delete our Item resque tasks and ItemObserver!
Again I'm just not convinced of the perf on this, and it enables us to delete some whole infra over it, we can improve it another time if it's useful to!
Just removing some caching and the expiration of it! There's still more superfluous(?) caching on the item page to audit, but these seem a bit more sensible about avoiding loading extra data.
In the interest of clearing out Resque, I'm just gonna remove a lot of our more complex caching stuff, and we can do a perf pass for things like big item list pages once everything's upgraded. (I'm hopeful that the upgrades themselves improve perf; and if not, that some improved sensibilities 10 years later can find simpler approaches.)
We uninstalled Flex, our Elasticsearch gem, to replace item search with direct DB queries; but I forgot these calls, oops!
I also kinda want to see about deleting the resque tasks altogether, since I'm not sure how to get Resque installed on latest rails bc there seems to be a conflict over the version of Rack? And it'd be nice to get rid of the complexity if we can.
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.
