Rails Bad Practices #2 - using Time.now in scope
Ever wondered how to get your time-dependent scopes to act like bunch of lunatics?
do this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
scope :active, where(:activated_at.gt => Time.now)
endand your list of active users will stub every time you restart your app. Cool!
Of course, this great trick can’t be achieved with this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
scope :active, lambda{ where(:activated_at.gt => Time.now) }
end
