I keep getting the error ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) for my default_scope which is default_scope { where("#{table_name}.tenant_id IS NULL") }

It keeps giving me this error and I don't understand why. I have the default scope in my users model.

Update:

Error output if using rails console:

The hash is in my user model as below.

 def User.new_remember_token      SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64  end   def User.hash(token)      Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(token.to_s)  end   private       def create_remember_token          self.remember_token = User.hash(User.new_remember_token)      end

And the relevant rails methods:

def ignore_default_scope? # :nodoc:      ScopeRegistry.value_for(:ignore_default_scope, self) end  def ignore_default_scope=(ignore) # :nodoc:      ScopeRegistry.set_value_for(:ignore_default_scope, self, ignore) end 

You should avoid overwriting Ruby core methods like Object#hash, also considering that Object#hash is an essential method in Ruby. From the docs:

Generates a Fixnum hash value for this object. This function must have the property that a.eql?(b) implies a.hash == b.hash.

The hash value is used along with eql? by the Hash class to determine if two objects reference the same hash key. Any hash value that exceeds the capacity of a Fixnum will be truncated before being used.

The hash value for an object may not be identical across invocations or implementations of ruby. If you need a stable identifier across ruby invocations and implementations you will need to generate one with a custom method.

If you really have to overwrite core methods you should guarantee their functionality and do not change their arguments: you will get unexpected behaviours all over your app otherwise, like the error you're referring.

I think that you have not such a variable or method as table_name

I think this will work:

table name = "users" default_scope { where("#{table_name}.tenant_id IS NULL") } 

Also it is cleaner to use callable objects for scopes (they are waiting for it), so it is better to use lambda here:

table name = "users" default_scope ->{ where("#{table_name}.tenant_id IS NULL") }  # or old syntax:  default_scope lambda { where("#{table_name}.tenant_id IS NULL") }
