Resurrecting a plugin

timmch · August 18, 2018, 2:57pm

With the intention of having a plugin that allows users to rate each other, I am trying to resurrect this plugin that hasn’t been maintained for over a year. It seems like there are some parts of the code that were designed for an older version of ruby and, of course, discourse.

I am getting this error:

uninitialized constant UserAction::UserActionRow
plugins/discourse-user-feedback/app/models/user_action.rb, line 59

github.com

JafethDC/discourse-user-feedback/blob/master/app/models/user_action.rb

UserAction.instance_eval do
  def ratings(opts)
    opts ||= {}

    action_types = opts[:action_types]
    target_topic_id = opts[:target_topic_id]
    offset = opts[:offset] || 0
    limit = opts[:limit] || 60

    action_id = opts[:action_id]

    # The weird thing is that target_post_id can be null, so it makes everything
    #  ever so more complex. Should we allow this, not sure.
    builder = SqlBuilder.new <<-SQL
        SELECT
          a.id,
          t.title, a.action_type, a.created_at, t.id topic_id,
          t.closed AS topic_closed, t.archived AS topic_archived,
          a.user_id AS target_user_id, au.name AS target_name, au.username AS target_username,
          coalesce(p.post_number, 1) post_number, p.id as post_id,

This file has been truncated. show original

Line 59 is

builder.map_exec(UserAction::UserActionRow)

It seems to me that User Action Row is a deprecated class used with an older version of ruby.

I have tried removing the UserActionRow piece, like so

builder.map_exec(UserAction)

This results in another error

undefined method `title=’ for #UserAction:0x000055deae7bde68

Can you help me by shedding light on how I might resolve this error?

As per this commit you should use .query instead of .map_exec(UserActionRow).
