Rails 4 default scope

Question

In my Rails app have a default scope that looks like this:

default_scope order: \'external_updated_at DESC\'

I have now upgraded to Rails 4

Answer 1

Should be only:

class Ticket < ActiveRecord::Base
  default_scope -> { order(:external_updated_at) } 
end

default_scope accept a block, lambda is necessary for scope(), because there are 2 parameters, name and block:

class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :red, -> { where(color: 'red') }
end

Answer 2

This also worked for me:

default_scope { order('created_at DESC') }

Answer 3

This works for me in Rails 4

default_scope { order(external_updated_at: :desc) }

Answer 4

default_scope -> { order(created_at: :desc) }

Don't forget the -> symbol

Answer 5

This worked from me (just for illustration with a where) because I came to this topic via the same problem.

default_scope { where(form: "WorkExperience") }

Answer 6

default_scope { 
      where(published: true) 
}

Try This.
