Question

Find doesn’t descope the default_scope anymore, what should I do now? I need to find entries that are out of the default scope on so many places and I also need the scoped arrays of entries for so many lists in my application.

Why did they changed it? 🙁

Answer 1

Take a look at this article as what has been deprecated in Rails3 here.

So if you want to use the model without the default_scope on it, then you can use the following as in the snippet below.(This is extracted from the article I mentioned)

with_scope and with_exclusive_scope

with_scope and with_exclusive_scope are now implemented on top of Relation as well. Making it possible to use any relation with them :

with_scope(where(:name => 'lifo')) do
  ...
end

Or even use a named scope :

with_exclusive_scope(Item.red) do
  ...
end
