Can't seem to observe the before_destroy or after_destroy events

Rails
1

Ruby 1.8.7, Rails 2.3.10.

I have an Observer set to watch :roles and :ads. I’ve declared it in
my environment.rb Within that, I have the following methods (just
testing right now):

class ApproveObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
observe :role, :ad
def after_create(record)
Rails.logger.info( record.inspect )
end
def after_update(record)
Rails.logger.info( record.inspect )
end
def before_destroy(record)
Rails.logger.info( record.inspect )
end
end

Both create and update are working fine, but destroy – whether I try
before or after – doesn’t fire off anything. Is that to do with the
fact that I’m looking at a destroyed object after the fact, or is
there something else going on here?

Thanks in advance,

Walter

Dumb, dumb, dumb…

My controller was calling delete, not destroy. Changed that and all is
well, it all works.
