How to handle complex query conditions with ActiveRecord in Rails 7.1?
I'm not sure how to approach I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm trying to build a complex query using ActiveRecord in a Rails 7.1 application, and I'm running into issues with how ActiveRecord interprets my conditions. I have a model `Product` with attributes `name`, `price`, and `category_id`. I want to filter products based on multiple conditions, including a range for the price and filtering by a category, but I keep getting unexpected results. Here’s the code I’m working with: ```ruby class ProductsController < ApplicationController def index @products = Product.where(price: 100..500) .where(category_id: params[:category_id]) end end ``` When I pass `category_id = 1` as a parameter, I expect to get all products that are within the price range of 100-500 and belong to category 1. However, I'm receiving products with prices outside this range, and it seems like the `where` clauses are not being combined correctly. I’ve tried using `ActiveRecord`'s `where` with a block, but that didn’t seem to help either: ```ruby @products = Product.where(price: 100..500) do |query| query.where(category_id: params[:category_id]) end ``` This still returns the same unexpected results. I also checked my database to ensure there are no products that match those criteria but shouldn't. I’m wondering if there’s a specific way to structure these queries to ensure they’re combined properly. Any insights or best practices on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated! Is there a better approach? Is there a better approach? I'm working with Ruby in a Docker container on Windows 10. Any examples would be super helpful.
