Stack level too deep when calling remove_from_list from acts_as_list gem


I'm running a test that did not fail before upgrading to rails 5.0, but now I am getting stack level too deep, the test is as follows:

describe "item hierarchy" do
    before(:each) do
      @template = FactoryGirl.create(:item_template)
      @root_item_a = FactoryGirl.create(:item, :parent => @template)
      @root_item_b = FactoryGirl.create(:item, :parent => @template)
    end
    it "allows a root item without children to be moved under another item" do
      @root_item_a.parent_item = @root_item_b
      expect(@root_item_a).to be_valid
      expect(@root_item_a.save).to be_truthy

      @root_item_a.reload
      expect(@root_item_a.parent_item).to eql @root_item_b
    end

The controller has the following relevant code:

belongs_to :parent_item, :class_name => 'Item', :foreign_key => 'parent_item_id'
has_many :child_items, ->{ order 'position ASC' }, :class_name => 'Item', :foreign_key => 'parent_item_id', :dependent => :destroy
acts_as_list :scope => [:item_id, :parent_type, :parent_item_id]
validate :parent_items_cannot_have_parents

def parent_items_cannot_have_parents
  if child_items.any? && parent_item.present? # THIS IS LINE  #16
    errors.add(:parent_item, "An item with sub-items should live on the root")
  end
end

def parent_item_id=(item_id)
    if new_record?
      self[:parent_item_id] = item_id
    elsif self[:parent_item_id] != ActiveRecord::Base.connection.type_cast(item_id, self.class.columns_hash['parent_item_id'])
      remove_from_list  # IT FAILS HERE LINE # 30
      self[:parent_item_id] = item_id
      send(:add_to_list_bottom)
    end
  end

The stacktrace is:

Item item hierarchy allows a child item to be moved under a different parent
     Failure/Error: if child_item.any? && parent_item.present?

acts_as_list gem is using the latest version: 0.9.16


Solution

  • Rolling back to version 0.9.5 of acts_as_list gem solved the problem
