Rails4 Deprecation warning for find_or_initialize_by method










20















I am upgrading to Rails4 from 3.2. I have the following query:



progress = Progress.find_or_initialize_by_chore_id_and_period_and_account_id(chore.id, period[chore.frequency], chore.account_id)


While running test, I am getting deprecation warning



DEPRECATION WARNING: This dynamic method is deprecated. Please use e.g. Post.find_or_initialize_by(name: 'foo') instead. (called from bump_progress at /Users/newimac/RailsApp/bank/app/models/child.rb:200)


So, I have updated my query as follows:



progress = Progress.where('chore.id' => 'chore_id', 'period[chore.frequency]' => 'period', 'chore.account_id' => 'account_id').first_or_initialize


But its not working. Is my query correct ?

          You can use the following:



          Progress.find_or_initialize_by(chore_id: chore.id, period: period[chore.frequency], account_id: chore.account_id)

            # find_or_initialize_by_
            # Rails 3:
            Team.find_or_initialize_by_name('Justice League')
            # Rails 4:
            Team.find_or_initialize_by(name: 'Justice League')
            # or
            Team.where(name: 'Justice League').first_or_initialize


            NB: In these cases, the word 'initialize' will be like calling Team.new. You can also replace 'initialize' 'create' to instead call Team.create, like this: .find_or_create_by or .first_or_create
