Problem removing a user using Rhino Security - rhino

Can someone please confirm for me that if I add a user to several groups, and then call RemoveUser, that the user will in fact be removed from the security_UsersToUsersGroups table?
I ask because, in my case, using the latest code, I am seeing that my user Is not being removed from this table.
The only delete query being generated is:
exec sp_executesql N'delete from security_Permissions where [User]=#p0',N'#p0 int',#p0=7
The engine never tries to delete the user from security_UsersToUsersGroups.
Any suggestions or ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Rick

You should try to use DetachUserFromGroup
user1 = unitOfWork.Session.Get<Model.User>(userId);
authorizationRepository.DetachUserFromGroup(user1, "Guests");
unitOfWork.Commit();
This is the query generated:
exec sp_executesql N'DELETE FROM security_UsersToUsersGroups WHERE GroupId = #p0', N'#p0 uniqueidentifier', #p0 = 'ED5C25B6-CED7-4A73-837D-9E3301178A3D'

"cypher.client" transaction issue in c# cant error and commited

I'm using Cypher.Client Transaction in my queries.
my transaction is committed without problem. however in every create and update that runs OK, one of my relations doesn't update. i wonder if the problem is in my transaction or there is a bug in my code. how can i detect what went wrong?
Some of these transaction work properly , though . But there 's a problem .
sample open transaction:
var txClient = (ITransactionalGraphClient)aClient;
using (var tx = txClient.BeginTransaction())
{ my query!}
thanks.
Check your Match scope for extra relation which will cause the transaction no to be
commit.

Rails Inconsistent database results

I have a Rails application where there is a request to create elements on a table and another one, waiting, that reads if such element was created or not.
Right now, I check the live Data and the waiting process never sees any new record for the table.
Any ideas how to force a reconnection or anything that will update the model reference?
The basic idea:
One user, through a POST, is creating a record (that i can see directly on the database).
Another piece of code, that was running before the requests, is waiting for that record, but does not find it.
I'd appreciate any insights.
The waiting request is probably using the ActiveRecord cache. Rails caches queries for the duration of a request, so if you run the exact same query multiple times in the same request, it will only hit the database the first time.
You can simulate this in the console:
Entity.cache { Entity.first; Entity.first }
In the logs, you'll see something like this (notice the second request says CACHE):
[2018-12-06T10:51:02.436 DEBUG (1476) #] Entity Load (4.9ms) SELECT "entities".* FROM "entities" LIMIT 1
[2018-12-06T10:51:02.450 DEBUG (1476) #] CACHE (0.0ms) SELECT "entities".* FROM "entities" LIMIT 1
To bypass the cache, you can use:
Entity.uncached { Entity.where(key: #key)&.last }
Using uncached will disable the cache inside the block, even if the enclosing scope is running inside a cached block.
It seems that, for a running Rails application, if a running piece of code is looking for anything that has been updated by a new request, after the first began its execution, the updated data would not show, using active_record models.
The solution: Just run a raw query.
sql = "SELECT * FROM entities WHERE key = '"+key+"' ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1;"
records_array = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql).values
I know it's a huge oversimplification and that there is probably an underlying problem, but it did solved it.

Rails .update_attribute not updating

I notice this question pops up a lot, but after trying several recommended solutions I found I still can't figure out what is wrong. I have a model called sample and a user model as well. When a sample is approved the hours on the sample are supposed to be added to the users total hours, but the users value is never updated. Each user has a unique email which is stored in the sample when it is submitted for approval. I checked in the database to make sure it wasn't an issue with accessing the value, and no error is being thrown so I am not really sure what is happening. I'm pretty new to ruby and rails so any help is appreciated. My samples_controller.rb contains the function:
def approve
#sample = Sample.find(params[:id])
#sample.update(sample_status:1)
#user = User.find(Sample.email)
hours_update = #user.hours + #sample.volunteer_hours
#user.update_attributes(:hours, hours_update)
redirect_to samples_adminsamples_path
end
Edit: thanks for the help everyone, turns out I needed to use the command
#user = User.find_by(email: #sample.email)
in order to get the proper user.
Can you please give some more data like db structure of Sample and User tables.
From the limited information, I think the line number 4 (#user = User.find(Sample.email)) is the problem.
.find() tries to query the DB on id and Sample.email would be giving user's email and not the id of the corresponding user in db.
I am also guessing that in your controller, you are suppressing the thrown exception some where using begin-rescue block because .find() throws ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception if it fails to find the resource.
Alternatively, if it is fetching the user correctly, you can also try update_column to update the values.
You are using incorrect format for update_attributes
It should be
#user.update_attributes(hours: hours_update)
or
#user.update_attribute(:hours, hours_update)
NOTE: update_attribute doesn't triggers the callbacks

how to properly create a between clause on mongo mapper

I'm trying to create a query like this
User.find_each(created_at: [1.day.ago.utc, Date.now]) do |user|
but that didn't worked. Always return 0 users, but I do have users created in the 1 day timeframe. I believe I'm doing this query wrong, but the mongo mapper documentation says nothing about this.
Any ideas?
Activate the profiling with db.setProfilingLevel(2).
Rerun your code.
Get the query you sent to MongoDB in the system.profile collection.
Run this query in the mongoshell to check what's wrong.
Update your code to send the command you want.

Saving updates to objects in rails

I'm trying to update one of my objects in my rails app and the changes just don't stick. There are no errors, and stepping through with the debugger just reveals that it thinks everything is updating.
Anyway, here is the code in question...
qm = QuestionMembership.find(:first, :conditions => ["question_id = ? AND form_id = ?", q_id, form_id])
qm.position = x
qm.save
For reference sake, QuestionMembership has question_id, form_id, and position fields. All are integers, and have no db constraints.
That is basically my join table between Forms and Questions.
Stepping through the code, qm gets a valid object, the position of the object does get changed to the value of x, and save returns 'true'.
However, after the method exits, the object in the db is unchanged.
What am I missing?
You may not be finding the object that you think you are. Some experimenting in irb might be enlightening.
Also, as a general rule when changing only one attribute, it's better to write
qm.update_attribute(:position, x)
instead of setting and saving. Rails will then update only that column instead of the entire row. And you also get the benefit of the data being scrubbed.
Is there an after_save?
Is the correct SQL being emitted?
In development log, you can actually see the sql that is generated.
For something like this:
qm = QuestionMembership.find(:first, :conditions => ["question_id = ? AND form_id = ?", q_id, form_id])
qm.position = x
qm.save
You should see something to the effect of:
SELECT * FROM question_memberships WHERE question_id=2 AND form_id=6 LIMIT 1
UPDATE question_memberships SET position = x WHERE id = 5
Can you output what sql you are actually seeing so we can compare?
Either update the attribute or call:
qm.reload
after the qm.save
What is the result of qm.save? True or false? And what about qm.errors, does that provide anything that makes sense to you? And what does the development.log say?
I have run into this problem rather frequently. (I was about to say consistently, but I cannot, as that would imply that I would know when it was about to happen.)
While I have no solution to the underlying issue, I have found that it seems to happen to me only when I am trying to update mysql text fields. My workaround has been to set the field to do something like:
qm.position = ""
qm.save
qm.position = x
qm.save
And to answer everyone else... when I run qm.save! I get no errors. I have not tried qm.save?
When I run through my code in the rails console everything works perfectly as evidenced by re-finding the object using the same query brings the expected results.
I have the same issue when using qm.update_attribute(... as well
My workaround has gotten me limping this far, but hopefully someone on this thread will be able to help.
Try changing qm.save to qm.save! and see if you get an exception message.
Edit: What happens when you watch the log on the call to .save!? Does it generate the expected SQL?
Use ./script/console and run this script.. step by step..
see if the position field for the object is update or not when you run line 2
then hit qm.save or qm.save!... to test
see what happens. Also as mentioned by Tim .. check the logs
Check your QuestionMembership class and verify that position does not have something like
attr_readonly :position
Best way to debug this is to do
tail -f log/development.log
And then open another console and do the code executing the save statement. Verify that the actual SQL Update statement is executed.
Check to make sure your database settings are correct. If you're working with multiple databases (or haven't changed the default sqlite3 database to MySQL) you may be working with the wrong database.
Run the commands in ./script/console to see if you see the same behavior.
Verify that a similar object (say a Form or Question) saves.
If the Form or Question saves, find the difference between the QuestionMembership and Form or Question object.
Turns out that it was emitting the wrong SQL. Basically it was looking for the QuestionMembeship object by the id column which doesn't exist.
I was under the impression that that column was unnecessary with has_many_through relationships, although it seems I was misguided.
To fix, I simply added the id column to the table as a primary key. Thanks for all the pointers.
