Use string as PK and FK on Rails 4 - ruby-on-rails

I`m trying to use String as Primary/Foreign key on a small crawler that I'm making. But I keep receiving the following error when I try to use the Associations methods (eg.: a.crawler_details - Where a is an object called Asin):
RangeError: 8532503039 is out of range for ActiveRecord::Type::Integer with limit 4
Record example:
#<Asin asin: "8532503039", title: "O FĂ­sico", image_url: nil, active: false, created_at: "2015-05-04 03:30:29", updated_at: "2015-05-04 03:30:36">
Here are the details:
2.1.2 :001 > Asin.new
=> #<Asin asin: nil, title: nil, image_url: nil, active: true, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
2.1.2 :002 > CrawlerDetail.new
=> #<CrawlerDetail id: nil, amazon_price: nil, feed_price: nil, first_place: nil, second_place: nil, third_place: nil, fp_price: nil, sp_price: nil, tp_price: nil, run: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
class Asin < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :crawler_details, :foreign_key => 'id', :primary_key=> 'asin'
self.primary_key = 'asin'
...
end
class CrawlerDetail < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :asin, :foreign_key => 'asin', :primary_key => 'id'
end
I also tried the belongs_to relation but with no luck. Any ideas here?

I think that is not association error , did you defined field name "asin" type integer in your database table ?
it may help please try to alter your database table from type integer to string .

How to implement Parent Categories, Categories and Subcategories using self referencing controller in Rails 4

I am trying to implement a three level deep association using self referencing.
Cat1
Sub1
SubSub1
SubSub2
Sub2
Cat2
Sub1
Cat3
Sub1
Sub2
SubSub1
I am able to get the child category of a category by this relation:
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :sub_categories, class_name: "Category", foreign_key: :parent_id
end
This is fine when i have only two level deep category. For three level deep association using self referencing i tried using this relation, but failed to get the desired output.
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :parent_category, class_name: "Category"
has_many :sub_categories, class_name: "Category", foreign_key: :parent_id
end
here is what i get using this association.query fired on Category.find(3).parent_category is wrong.
2.0.0-p648 :012 > Category.find(2)
Category Load (1.2ms) SELECT `categories`.* FROM `categories` WHERE `categories`.`id` = 2 LIMIT 1
=> #<Category id: 2, title: "Suit", description: "sffdsfsxcx ssdfvvs", seo_name: "sfsdf", parent_id: nil, hoe_page: nil, status: true, sequence: "1", banner_image_file_name: nil, banner_image_content_type: nil, banner_image_file_size: nil, banner_image_updated_at: nil, image_file_name: nil, image_content_type: nil, image_file_size: nil, image_updated_at: nil, home_description: "adhkadaa", home_page: true, long_description: "sdfsddfffssssde", created_at: "2018-04-09 07:42:55", updated_at: "2018-04-09 07:42:55">
2.0.0-p648 :013 > Category.find(3)
Category Load (1.1ms) SELECT `categories`.* FROM `categories` WHERE `categories`.`id` = 3 LIMIT 1
=> #<Category id: 3, title: "a", description: "aaa", seo_name: "a", parent_id: 2, hoe_page: nil, status: true, sequence: "1", banner_image_file_name: nil, banner_image_content_type: nil, banner_image_file_size: nil, banner_image_updated_at: nil, image_file_name: nil, image_content_type: nil, image_file_size: nil, image_updated_at: nil, home_description: "aaa", home_page: true, long_description: "aaa", created_at: "2018-04-09 09:44:11", updated_at: "2018-04-09 09:44:11">
2.0.0-p648 :014 > Category.find(3).parent_category
Category Load (1.1ms) SELECT `categories`.* FROM `categories` WHERE `categories`.`id` = 3 LIMIT 1
=> nil
Please help me here by making me understand what would be the perfect association for my purpose. Please dont give me gem name like "Ancestry" or "awesome_nested_set", I need pure rails associations.
Try this:
belongs_to :parent_category, foreign_key: :parent_id, class_name: 'Category'
has_many :sub_categories, foreign_key: :parent_id, class_name: 'Category'

rails mongo query based on BSON::ObjectId foreign key

Mongodb and rails
Parent object has_many :children
Child has a parent_id of class BSON::ObjectId
Child.first.parent_id
=> BSON::ObjectId('59031cd92936094d04000d31')
I can not find the Parent with that _id
Parent.where(_id: '59031cd92936094d04000d31').first

The Parent object looks like this
=> #<Parent _id: 5a959865c8aedf03c1000007, _type: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, id: nil, name: nil, description: nil, type: nil, starts_at: nil, children_hash: nil>

ActiveRecord + Pry confusion

This is confusing me no end.
In a rake task, I am saving new records on the DailyScore model with the following code:
def save_record_as_daily_score_object(data)
#ds = DailyScore.where(date: data[:date]).first_or_create!
#ds.update!(data)
binding.pry
end
The pry output is as follows:
[10] pry(main)> data
=> {:date=>"2015-09-02",
:mail=>-0.6,
:times=>-7.1,
:telegraph=>-2.2,
:guardian=>-4.0,
:express=>-0.1,
:independent=>-3.2,
:average=>-3.4}
[11] pry(main)> #ds
=> #<DailyScore:0x000001098121a8
id: 4975,
mail: nil,
telegraph: nil,
times: nil,
average: nil,
guardian: nil,
independent: nil,
express: nil,
date: nil,
created_at: 2016-05-16 13:10:03 UTC,
updated_at: 2016-05-16 13:10:03 UTC>
[12] pry(main)> #ds.average
=> -3.4
[13] pry(main)> #ds.date
=> "2015-09-02"
[14] pry(main)> #ds.persisted?
=> true
[15] pry(main)> DailyScore.last
=> #<DailyScore:0x000001086810d8
id: 4975,
mail: nil,
telegraph: nil,
times: nil,
average: nil,
guardian: nil,
independent: nil,
express: nil,
date: nil,
created_at: 2016-05-16 13:10:03 UTC,
updated_at: 2016-05-16 13:10:03 UTC>
[16] pry(main)> DailyScore.last.average
=> nil
What is going on here? Why can't Pry access my variable attributes? And is the record actually being saved or not?
UPDATE:
Checking in the console, the behaviour is the same if I simply create a new object. I'm using the Padrino framework, and a Postgres db.
2.0.0 :001 > ds = DailyScore.new(date:"2016-01-01")
=> #<DailyScore id: nil, mail: nil, telegraph: nil, times: nil, average: nil, guardian: nil, independent: nil, express: nil, date: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
2.0.0 :002 > ds.date
=> "2016-01-01"
2.0.0 :003 > ds
=> #<DailyScore id: nil, mail: nil, telegraph: nil, times: nil, average: nil, guardian: nil, independent: nil, express: nil, date: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
Is it a problem with the model? Here is the original migration:
006_create_daily_scores.rb
class CreateDailyScores < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :daily_scores do |t|
t.float :average
t.datetime :date
t.float :express
t.float :independent
t.float :guardian
t.float :telegraph
t.float :mail
t.float :times
t.timestamps
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :daily_scores
end
end
Have now added another column day:date - using :date instead of :datetime - to check if it was a quirk with :datetime, but behaviour is the same.
This happens because you called attr_accessor in your model with your model attributes, which overrode default accessors provided by Rails (the accessors are called by update and new methods). Note this doc, for reference, if you do want to override accessors one day.
Removing attr_accessor from your model will do the trick!

.first returning wrong object type

If you look at the four method calls below, Service.first returns a Service object, Salon.first returns a Salon object, etc. But TransactionItem.first returns a Service object. Why could this be?
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :001 > Service.first
=> #<Service id: 147, name: "Fub", salon_id: 2, created_at: "2011-08-10 18:00:07", updated_at: "2011-08-10 18:00:12", price: nil, active: true, archived: true>
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :002 > Salon.first
=> #<Salon id: 1, name: "The Cheeky Strut", created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, address_id: nil, email: nil>
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :003 > Product.first
=> #<Product id: 1, name: "Herbal Essences Shampoo", retail_price: #<BigDecimal:10305f1f0,'0.1E2',9(18)>, wholesale_price: nil, sku: "", salon_id: 2, created_at: "2011-07-08 01:35:48", updated_at: "2011-07-08 01:35:48", archived: false>
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :004 > TransactionItem.first
=> #<Service id: 63, created_at: "2011-08-30 20:05:57", updated_at: "2011-08-30 20:05:57", price: #<BigDecimal:10303eba8,'0.18E2',9(18)>>
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :005 >
This is what my app/models/transaction_item.rb looks like:
class TransactionItem < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :transaction
belongs_to :stylist
end
I blew away the TransactionItem table via a migration, then created a brand new migration to re-create it. That seems to have fixed the problem.

Why is Rail2's to_json's include option returning empty hashes?

I'm trying to use Rails(2)'s to_json model serializing mechanism to emit some data from associated models. As my guide I'm referencing the following essentially identical documentation URLs:
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Serializers/JSON.html
http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Serialization/to_json
Here is some of the relevant model code:
class WorkEffortAssignment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :work_effort
belongs_to :assigned_to, :polymorphic => true
belongs_to :assigned_by, :polymorphic => true
Here is the controller code, I'm just trying to dump some JSON for initial testing purposes:
def dump_work_effort_assignments
WorkEffort.include_root_in_json = false
all_assignments = WorkEffortAssignment.all
options = {:include => [:work_effort, :assigned_to, :assigned_by], :only => [:work_effort_id, :assigned_to_id, :assigned_by_id]}
ext_json = "{data:#{WorkEffortAssignment.all.to_json(options)}}"
render :inline => ext_json
end
Here's the first record of Json data with empty hashes for work_effort, assigned_to and assigned_by:
{data:[{"assigned_to":{},"work_effort_id":"9","assigned_to_id":3,"assigned_by":{},"work_effort":{},"assigned_by_id":3}, //etcetera
But below is my console session showing the associations that I'd like to represent in my Json. So what am I doing wrong in my controller when trying to specify the include option for to_json, such that I can easily send associated model data back to the browser. Thanks in advance
>> assignment = WorkEffortAssignment.first
=> #<WorkEffortAssignment id: 1, assigned_at: nil, assigned_from: nil, assigned_

The :only specifier you have there is throwing it off. The following will include the child-objects:
def dump_work_effort_assignments
WorkEffort.include_root_in_json = false
all_assignments = WorkEffortAssignment.all
options = {:include => [:work_effort, :assigned_to, :assigned_by]}
ext_json = "{data:#{WorkEffortAssignment.all.to_json(options)}}"
render :inline => ext_json
end
...but will not filter out the attributes of the parent. If you want to do that, it may be simpler to just build a hash and convert it to json:
def dump_work_effort_assignments
data = WorkEffortAssignment.all.map {|wea| {
:work_effort => wea.work_effort,
:assigned_to => wea.assigned_to,
:assigned_by => wea.assigned_by
}}
ext_json = "{data:#{data.to_json}}"
render :inline => ext_json
end
