Periods before the first one or after the last one where the count is positive are not included?

[Elián Agustín Magni]

I apologize if there's an option or workaround for this.

I'm working with the following statement:

Model.where(created_at: (Date.current - 20.days)..Date.current).group_by_day(:created_at, default_value: 0).count

In the results hash I spot the following:

1. The first day in the hash seems to be the first day within the range where the count throws a positive value

2. The last day in the hash seems to be the last day within the range where the count is positive as well.

All days within the first day with a positive value and the last day with a positive value where the count is 0 are included with the default_value (this is fine).

However Date.current - 20.days goes all the way back to May 17th and Date.current is June 6th. Those days throw a count of 0, and are not included.

E.g:

{
 Fri, 19 May 2023=>1,
 Sat, 20 May 2023=>0,
 Sun, 21 May 2023=>0,
 Mon, 22 May 2023=>0,
 Tue, 23 May 2023=>2,

 Sat, 03 Jun 2023=>0,
 Sun, 04 Jun 2023=>0,
 Mon, 05 Jun 2023=>1
 }

Expected:

{
 Wed, 17 May 2023=>0,
 Thu, 18 May 2023=>0,
 Fri, 19 May 2023=>1,
 Sat, 20 May 2023=>0,

 Thu, 01 Jun 2023=>0,
 Fri, 02 Jun 2023=>1,
 Sat, 03 Jun 2023=>0,
 Sun, 04 Jun 2023=>0,
 Mon, 05 Jun 2023=>1
 Tue, 06 Jun 2023=>0
 }

Is there an option or workaround for this? I have the same issue grouping by month, etc.

Thanks.

Hi @1990eam, use the range option instead of where(...) to get the entire series.
