Rails has introduced this throw(:abort)
syntax, but now how do I get meaningful destroy errors ?
For validation errors one would do
if not user.save
# => user.errors has information
if not user.destroy
# => user.errors is empty
Here is my model
class User
before_destroy :destroy_validation,
if: :some_reason
private
def destroy_validation
throw(:abort) if some_condition
end
You can use errors.add
for your class method.
User model:
def destroy_validation
if some_condition
errors.add(:base, "can't be destroyed cause x,y or z")
throw(:abort)
end
end
Users controller:
def destroy
if @user.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to users_path, notice: ':)' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
else
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to users_path, alert: ":( #{@user.errors[:base]}"}
end
end
end
