How to select where ID in Array Rails ActiveRecord without exception

Question

When I have array of ids, like

ids = [2,3,5]

and I perform

Comment.find(ids)

everything works fine. But w

Answer 1

If it is just avoiding the exception you are worried about, the "find_all_by.." family of functions works without throwing exceptions.

Comment.find_all_by_id([2, 3, 5])

will work even if some of the ids don't exist. This works in the

user.comments.find_all_by_id(potentially_nonexistent_ids)

case as well.

Update: Rails 4

Comment.where(id: [2, 3, 5])
