assert the size of the list in elixir

Question

I would like to assert list's size. Currently I do it as follows:

assert devices = Repo.all from d in device, where d.uuid == ^attrs.uuid
assert devices.first == devices.last

Is there a better way to do that?

Answer 1

Kernel.length/1 will return the size of a list:

length([1,2,3]) #3

You can do this from an Ecto query using:

query = from d in Device, where: d.uuid == ^uuid, select: fragment("count(?)", d.id)
assert  Repo.all(query)== 3

In Ecto 2 you can use Repo.aggregate/4

query = from d in Device, where: d.uuid == ^uuid)
assert Repo.aggregate(query, :count, :id) == 3
