How to get the last entered record field in rails with join and group by?


I am using rails 5.1 with ruby 2.4 and I am stuck in rails Active record query, which I have already made it in SQL but not able to replicate it in the rails way. Please suggest the right syntax, thanks in advance. The Sql query is:

select jobs.id, users.first_name, users.last_name, users.email, MAX(comments.created_at) from comments left join jobs on jobs.id = comments.job_id left join users on users.id = jobs.user_id group by jobs.id;

The corresponding query made in rails is:

Comment.joins("left join jobs on jobs.id = comments.job_id").joins("left join users on users.id = jobs.user_id").select("jobs.id, users.first_name, users.last_name, users.email, max(comments.created_at)").group_by("jobs.id")

which is giving the following error:

Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 151ms (ActiveRecord: 6.1ms)

ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0)):

The output should be as:

+-------+------------+-----------+------------------------+--------------------------+
| id    | first_name | last_name | email                  | MAX(comments.created_at) |
+-------+------------+-----------+------------------------+--------------------------+

instead of:

+-------+------------+-----------+------------------------+--------------------------+
| id    | first_name | last_name | email                  | max(comments.created_at) |

Solution

  • I think it's your group_by. That's a vanilla ruby enum. Have you tried .group('jobs.id')? group is an activerecord query helper that will run the sql group by clause
