Rails ActiveRecord Query Date Range

Question

I\'m trying to use the following line in my controller to capture all tasks due less than a week from the current date:

@due_this_week = current_user.tasks.where         


        

Answer 1

Turns out my controller somehow wasn't set up correctly and was no longer saving the current_user's ID when creating new assignments, which is why they weren't being found. I figured this out using the rails console and running a find on the last few assignments submitted. The user_id was set to nil. Thanks for the assist @mu is too short.

Answer 2

Should be:

@due_this_week = current_user.tasks.where(due_date: 1.week.ago..Date.today)
