The rake is interrupted! ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (2 for 0..1)
My rails task looks like this:
desc 'Delete records older than 7 days'
task :delete_old_records => :environment do
Post.delete_all('created_at < ?', 7.days.ago)
end
I tried to accomplish the task using:
rake delete_old_records --trace
and it leads to this error:
** Invoke delete_old_records (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute delete_old_records
rake aborted!
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (2 for 0..1)

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong here? My model looks like this:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
end
and the rake-gem version is rake-10.4.2

You can do something like this:
timestamp = Time.now - 7.days posts = Post.where('created_at < ?', timestamp) posts.each { |post| post.destroy }
7.days.ago returns the ActiveSupport :: TimeWithZone class.
Time.now - 7.days will return the Time object you need.
Or you could do this:
posts = Post.where('created_at < ?', timestamp).destroy_all
Not really sure what broke on your end, but it works for me in my console using the basic Rails model.
