Rails 4.1.1 w/ pg_search - “PG::SyntaxError: ERROR: syntax error at or near ”AS“” Bug

Question

I updated from RoR 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 to apply the latest security patch and it appears pg_search broke.

Here\'s a error:

PG::SyntaxError: ERROR: syn

Answer 1

This is weird - when i call

=@supports.count

the error is generated but it is a valid object. It's a bit hacky but this is working for now:

=@supports.to_a.count

Answer 2

There is a good conversation here to clarify the problem.

Answer 3

@supports.count(:all) should work, the @supports.count syntax got deprecated in rails 4.1.1
