node-pre-gyp ERR! build error | yarn install | Rails | Mac – Mojave

I encountered a series of errors when I tried to run my existing Rails5 app in my freshly installed macOS Mojave.

$ bundle exec rails s

this generated some errors like, node not found, then I installed node using brew.

$ brew install node

then,

$ npm install yarn

$ yarn install

Rails | Apartment gem | Resets AR objects when tenant switched

I ran into a weird situation today. Active Record objects stored in vars are removed when I switched from one tenant to another on the fly. This will create a weird test-failing scenario and you never know why its happening.

def switch(name)
  yield(name)
end

@customers = [1,2,3]
switch('shiva') do |name|
  puts name
  puts @customers
end

# Gives output
# shiva
# 1
# 2
# 3

 

but when I do this

@roles     = Role.all
@customers = org.branches
@list      = [1, 2]

puts 'Role count' + @roles.count.to_s
puts 'Customer count' + @customers.count.to_s
puts 'list count' + @list.count.to_s

Apartment::Tenant.switch!(org.database_name)
puts '-------'
puts 'Role count' + @roles.count.to_s
puts 'Customer count' + @customers.count.to_s
puts 'list count' + @list.count.to_s

output is

Role count2
Customer count2
list count2
-------
Role count0
Customer count0
list count2

 

Reason

# apartment-2.2.0/lib/apartment/adapters/abstract_adapter.rb
#   Switch to a new tenant
#
#   @param {String} tenant name
#
def switch!(tenant = nil)
  run_callbacks :switch do
    return reset if tenant.nil?

    connect_to_new(tenant).tap do
      Apartment.connection.clear_query_cache
    end
  end
end

Rails : PaperTrail gem : Custom events to track fields changed

In my project, I was asked to keep track of changes in records. I found PaperTrails gem, and its found to be pretty useful.

But it lacks a straightforward feature to know the fields changed in that particular version. Then I thought to write custom event name so that I could grep the field_name I wish to check.

# == Schema Information
#
# Table name: tasks
#
#  id                :integer          not null, primary key
#  worker_id         :integer
#  customer_id       :integer
#  kind              :integer          default(0)
#  status            :integer          default(0)
#  note              :text
#  start_on          :datetime
#  complete_on       :datetime
#  started_on        :datetime
#  completed_on      :datetime
#  created_at        :datetime         not null
#  updated_at        :datetime         not null
#  driver_acceptance :integer          default(0)
#  refuel_id         :integer
#  shift_id          :integer
#

class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Timeable
  has_paper_trail
  
  # Update event-name on update
  before_save :paper_trail_events, on: :update

  enum status: { scheduled: 0, started: 1, skipped: 2, completed: 3, paused: 4, rescheduled: 5 }
  enum kind: { inter_location: 0, refuel: 1, break: 2 }
  enum driver_acceptance: { pending: 0, accepted: 1, rejected: 2, sent: 3 }

  private

    def paper_trail_events
      changed_fields         = self.changes.keys - ['created_at', 'updated_at']
      self.paper_trail_event = "Updated #{changed_fields.join(',')}"
    end
end

In Rails Console

> Task.find(1768).versions.map &:event
=> ["Updated start_on,complete_on,status", "Updated worker_id"]

 

Invalid CSS after “(min-width: “: expected expression (e.g.

Two possible reasons:

• You might be @importing minified version of css assets like bootstrap.min.css
  • I did same and later solved using normal version css file
• Search the suspect file if it has the content (min-width: and (max-width on the same line
  • see if there is any variable used
  • there might be px unit missing after the var
  • see if there is any possibility of var being nil
  • use @if condition to solve problem
  • eg:

@if  $min != null and $max != null{
  @media (min-width: $min + 'px') and (max-width: $max + 'px') {
    @content;
  }
}

Chart.js V2.6.0 override draw function

How I did this

Could not install Ruby 2.3.4 in Ubuntu 17.04 using RVM

I could not install Ruby 2.3.4 which I needed because Heroku does not support latest stable release like 2.4.0.  So my Gemfile has locked the version 2.3.4. Till now I have been manually commenting out that particular line from the Gemfile and skipping the change from Git-Commits.

Hack

I found a hack

• install ruby 2.3 from apt-get

sudo apt-get install ruby2.3 ruby2.3-dev

• find location of the ruby installed

which ruby2.3
# => /usr/bin/ruby2.3

• Mount the ruby to RVM

rvm mount /usr/bin/ruby2.3 -n ruby-2.3.3

rvm list                                

rvm rubies

 * ext-ruby-2.3.3 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.8.7-p371 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.3-p551 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-2.4.0 [ x86_64 ]

A better option

Install Ruby from archived link

rvm mount -r https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.bz2
