Unexpected Result from ActiveRecord Count with Grouping in Rails 7
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm updating my dependencies and I just started working with I'm attempting to set up I'm working on a personal project and I am trying to get a count of orders grouped by their status using ActiveRecord in Rails 7, but I'm running into unexpected results..... Currently, I have a model `Order` with a `status` column. The following query is what I've implemented: ```ruby Order.select(:status).group(:status).count ``` This should return a hash where the keys are the statuses and the values are the counts of orders for each status. However, when I run this, the resulting hash includes statuses that don't exist in the database at all, and I’m puzzled about why that’s happening. I've also tried: ```ruby Order.group(:status).count ``` ``` Order.group(:status).pluck(:status, 'COUNT(*)') ``` But all yield similar results, including statuses like 'pending' and 'cancelled' that I know haven’t been created yet. Furthermore, when I try to fetch the distinct statuses directly using: ```ruby Order.distinct.pluck(:status) ``` It returns only the existing statuses. I suspect there might be an scenario with how ActiveRecord handles the group count, but I'm not sure what the best practices are for obtaining an accurate count of grouped records. Could someone clarify what's happening here or suggest a better approach to achieve the correct counts without including non-existent statuses? I'm working on a desktop app that needs to handle this. I appreciate any insights! The stack includes Ruby and several other technologies. What would be the recommended way to handle this?
