Before_destroy and protecting some records

Rails
1

I want to delete some "Accounts’ that have dependent “Users”, however I
want to skip users tagged is_power. I want to do this by resetting the
users to a master account id.

In my User model I have the following code:

before_destroy :reset_power_users

def reset_power_users
users = User.find_by_account_id_and_is_power(account.id, true)
users.each {|user| update_attribute(:account_id, 1)}
end

I’m not sure the variables I’m passing are correct, but it’s not
throwing and error and deleting all users under the current account.

Thanks in advance for taking a look :slight_smile:

Well at the very least it’s not working because find_by_xxx is
analogous to find :first (ie returns a single record or nil). The
find :all equivalent is find_all_by_xxx
