undefined method `default_scoped?' while accessing scope

Question

I am getting this error while accessing scopes.

Here is AR model

class StatisticVariable < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :code, :name

Answer 1

I got this error because one of my scopes was returning self, which I assumed was the relation object (didn't work); returning nil instead achieved the expected result. eg:

scope :except_ids, -> ids do
  if ids.present?
    ids = ids.split(',') if ids.respond_to?(:split)
    where('id not in (?)', ids)
  end
end

if ids.present? returns false, the condition returns nil and the scope has no effect, but is still chainable.
