{column_name}_rank causes NoMethodError #171

Closed balajivenkatesh closed 4 years ago

balajivenkatesh commented 4 years ago

According to the Readme,

If you need to find the rank of an item with respect to other ranked items, you can use the {column_name}_rank method on the model instance. {column_name} is your resource ranking column.

But invoking {column_name}_rank causes NoMethodError . Though {column_name}_position works. Is that expected?

Looking at https://github.com/mixonic/ranked-model/commit/200ebe2e5cf283219022688f733d78c79df2fa71#diff-0101443cdd715634c1e9e26e4460f27662129d8d8afbc994447f3d5ffbbde998R68 seems to suggest the {column_name}_rank may not be public?

[Edit] My gem version was 0.4.2 and the latest is 0.4.6 I updated with bundle update ranked-model and this was fixed.

Hi @balajivenkatesh, the public method is defined here:

https://github.com/mixonic/ranked-model/blob/master/lib/ranked-model.rb#L64

Are you calling this on the base model object?

balajivenkatesh commented 4 years ago

@brendon thanks for the quick response!

My gem version was 0.4.2 and the latest is 0.4.6 I updated with bundle update ranked-model and the method is available now. Closing issue.

Oh sorry, I see what you mean. Looks like we may have forgot to declare that method public :) Would you like to do a PR fixing this, along with a test for it?

I just see your new message now, are you sure it's working? It looks like we're defining it in the private area still.

I'm guessing this line is probably not really necessary anymore? https://github.com/mixonic/ranked-model/blob/master/lib/ranked-model.rb#L68

balajivenkatesh commented 4 years ago

Yes, that line might not be necessary anymore - define_method doesn't explicitly say it but it might be the case. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3782026/how-do-i-dynamically-define-a-method-as-private says how private dynamic methods can be specified
