If I have an ActiveRecord::Base model with a default-scope:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
default_scope :conditions => ["bar = ?",bar]
end
Is there any way to do a Foo.find without using the default_scope conditions? In other words, can you override a default scope?
I would have thought that using 'default' in the name would suggest that it was overridable, otherwise it would be called something like global_scope, right?
On Rails 5.1+ (and maybe earlier, but I've tested it works on 5.1) it is possible to unscope a specific column, which imho is the ideal solution for removing a default_scope in a fashion that can be used inside a named scope. In the case of the OPs default_scope,
Foo.unscope(where: :bar)
Or
scope :not_default, -> { unscope(where: :bar) }
Foo.not_default
Will both result in a sql query that doesn't apply the original scope, but does apply whatever other conditions get merged into the arel.
