#invert_where inverts all preceding #where clauses in an
ActiveRecord query chain, including those contained within scopes. Instead,
retrieving and inverting the [Arel::SelectManager#constraints][constr] of
just the desired scope allows for order-independent scope chaining without
side effects.
Given the scopes defined in theFoobar model:
Foobar.active.published
# SELECT "foobars".* FROM "foobars" WHERE "foobars"."expires_at" >= '2021-12-10 04:21:48.044576' AND "foobars"."published" = 1
Foobar.published.active
# SELECT "foobars".* FROM "foobars" WHERE "foobars"."published" = 1 AND "foobars"."expires_at" >= '2021-12-10 04:21:48.044576'
Foobar.expired_inverse_of.published
# SELECT "foobars".* FROM "foobars" WHERE NOT ("foobars"."expires_at" >= '2021-12-10 04:21:48.044576') AND "foobars"."published" = 1
Foobar.published.expired_inverse_of
# SELECT "foobars".* FROM "foobars" WHERE "foobars"."published" = 1 AND NOT ("foobars"."expires_at" >= '2021-12-10 04:21:48.044576')
Foobar.expired_invert_where.published
# SELECT "foobars".* FROM "foobars" WHERE "foobars"."expires_at" < '2021-12-10 04:21:48.044576' AND "foobars"."published" = 1
Foobar.published.expired_invert_where
# SELECT "foobars".* FROM "foobars" WHERE NOT ("foobars"."published" = 1 AND "foobars"."expires_at" >= '2021-12-10 04:21:48.044576')
