I have got a list of records that belongs to a specific user in the
“index” action. Each list item has got a “delete” link that links to the
“destroy” action.
Sounds very usual, right?
But everytime I press the “delete” link to bring me to the “destroy”
action, I get the same error:
Couldn’t find [Record] with ID=X
[Record] is the name of my model.
I always check that the record actually exists in my database, before I
press the “delete” link.
What is wrong here? Any ideas?

We’re not psychic. (but if I had to take a guess it would be that the
parameters your controller receives aren’t the ones you thought you’d
get).

I don’t expect you to be, either.
But I have been running through all my other models to check if
something could cause the problem, but there’s nothing.

Yes, that’s what I thought too. But I’ve also checked if the record’s id
matches the id in params[:id].
Actually I thought, this was a comon problem. I see it’s not. Therefore
I’ll give you some code snippets, that might give a hint.
def destroy
# Finding the current user’s root folder.
@root = Folder.find(:first, :conditions => "folder_id is null and
user_id = "+current_user.id.to_s)
# Finding the upload to get destroyed. Error at following line:
@upload = Upload.find(params[:id])
# Deleting the upload on the harddrive.
File.delete @upload.public_filename
# Destroys the upload.
@upload.destroy
# If the file has been deleted from the user's root folder.
if @root.id == @upload.folder_id
# ... redirect to the home page.
url = {}
else
# ... else redirect to the folder's parent folder.
url = {:controller => "folders", :action => "show", :id =>
@upload.folder_id}
end
flash[:notice] = “…”
# Redirect goes here.
redirect_to url
end
According to my oppinion, there should be nothing wrong here. But what
about the model?
has_attachment :storage => :file_system, :path_prefix => table_name
belongs_to :folder
validates_uniqueness_of :filename, :scope => :folder_id
validates_presence_of :filename
belongs_to :user, :foreign_key => “user_id”
attr_accessor :email
Nothing unusual, right? This is the folder model. Each folder contains
both folders and uploads:
acts_as_tree :order => “name”, :foreign_key => ‘folder_id’
belongs_to :parent, :foreign_key => ‘folder_id’, :class_name =>
‘Folder’
has_many :children, :foreign_key => ‘folder_id’, :class_name =>
‘Folder’, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :uploads, :dependent => :destroy
belongs_to :user
validates_uniqueness_of :name, :scope => :folder_id
Could anything in these code snippets cause the problem?

What [Record] is Upload < ActiveRecord ? is X in ID=X contained in your
Uploads table?
Let me explain. I refered to the “Upload” table/model as “[Record]”
because I thought it was irelevant.
So the actual error message was:
Couldn't find Upload with ID=X
X is (of course) an integer.
And yes, I always doublecheck if the Upload appears in the uploads table
with the correct id BEFORE I press delete.
But the interesting part is, that when I see the error message, I check
my uploads table again and see that the Upload has disappeared!
So even though the error is reached before the actual destroy command,
the upload gets destroyed anyway.
Isn’t that strange?
- unless folder.uploads.empty?
- folder.uploads.each do |upload|
%tr
%td= link_to “Delete”, { :controller => “uploads”, :action =>
“destroy”, :id => upload.id }, :confirm => “xxx”%td= link_to “Delete”, { :controller => “uploads”, :action => “destroy”,
:id => upload }, :confirm => “xxx”You should ensure that upload variable in looping folder.uploads is not
formed as array.
It’s not. Each item in folder.uploads refers directly to an instance of
the Upload model:
has_many :uploads, ...Couldn’t find [Record] with ID=X
[Record] is the name of my model.
What [Record] is Upload < ActiveRecord ? is X in ID=X contained in your
Uploads table?
- unless folder.uploads.empty?
- folder.uploads.each do |upload|
%tr
%td= link_to “Delete”, { :controller => “uploads”, :action =>
“destroy”, :id => upload.id }, :confirm => “xxx”
%td= link_to “Delete”, { :controller => “uploads”, :action => “destroy”,
:id => upload }, :confirm => “xxx”
You should ensure that upload variable in looping folder.uploads is not
formed as array.

Well, earlier you said that your Folder model has:
has_many :uploads, :dependent => :destroy
Are your uploads getting deleted due to a folder delete?
Are there any clues in your logs? Any SQL for the deletes which give a
hint as to when the record was removed?

It’s almost as if the action is being run twice. Anything in the logs
that corroborates that. Any weird stuff in the controllers (filters
etc…) that could be doing that ?

It is actually deleted, but the exception is raised anyway.
Anybody who knows what makes Errno::ENOENT raise an exception even
though the file is deleted successfully?

It will help if you post the code of the method doing the deleting…

I already did:
# Deleting the upload on the harddrive.
File.delete @upload.public_filenameFrederick C. wrote:

You’re right!
I haven’t noticed before, but when looking at the development log, I see
that the destroy command actually runs twice with a delay of one second.
The first time it raises an exception because (of some reason) it’s
unable to delete the upload on the harddrive and then redirects to the
same page and raises the error, because the upload was deleted in the
database, but not on the harddrive.

Yark, I also found out why the redirection took place.
The “url” variable should’ve been set to {:controller => “home”}. {}
Redirects to the same page.
