How to make Ahoy gem tracking visits for users with uuid?

Question

I have a User model with uuid for id column.

Ahoy gem creates visits as expected but the user_id is wrong.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

ok. Got that. Ahoy gem doesn't work with user_id as UUID. It takes the first digits from uuid and stores that in user_id for Ahoy::Visit which could look like random value. The solution is to change the user_id type to uuid.

This migration would do the trick:

class ChangeAhoyVisits < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.2]
  def change
    Ahoy::Visit.destroy_all

    remove_column :ahoy_visits, :user_id, :bigint
    add_column :ahoy_visits, :user_id, :uuid, foreign_key: true, null: true
    add_index :ahoy_visits, :user_id
  end
end
