ActiveRecord dynamic finder methods

[Mark Volkmann]

I've received conflicting answers to this question and I'd like to
confirm the correct answer.

When an ActiveRecord dynamic finder method is invoked, does it create
a new method and save it so the method actually exists the next time
it is called OR does it just evaluate the query based on the method
name every time.

I don't have an opinion on which way is better, I just want to know
how it currently works.

You can always ask Ruby:
