Hello,
how can I check if a destroy was successful?
Is the object only frozen if deleted or do I have to do an additional
find to see if there is a record left?
What happens if an after_destroy callback returns false? Is there always
a rollback?

You should be able to ensure a destroy works with the proper tests, but
if you really insist on wearing belts and suspenders you can do this.
Item.destroy(params[:id])
if Item.exists?(params[:id])
else
end
Assuming it exists in the first place.

What happens if the DB is not available during executing the destroy and
exists? (“Server shutdown in progress”, “Broken pipe”, “Lost connection
to server during query”, “server has gone away”)
How is this handled by AR?

‘exists?’ will query the database to see if that record number exists,
so if the database is down it will raise an exception, I think.

Try running your application with your database turned off and see what
happens.

I get this exception when I do it.
‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’

Is the exception from destroy or exists?()
I think it’s not coming from exists?() because it rescues from
exceptions and returns false.
Is there really no documentation of the exception classes and how they
are used in AR? It is horror to go through the source to find
possibilities of exceptions.
Kevin, thanks for your help.

I know but there is no doc and I think 99% of methods have no
information which exceptions they could raise and because of which
situation. Without such information it’s nearly impossible to use
exceptions for error detection and rescue handling.
It shouldn’t be an exception to describe exceptions ;(

I generated this exception by turning off mysql and trying to do
anything with my rails app.
The problem you are much more likely to encounter is if a record is
destoyed by another user before your request is processed. You could
check your params[:id] for a valid record number before proceeding with
the destroy. In fact, I use a before filter for this very thing.
At least you can do something like this…
def destroy
begin
Item.find(params[:id]).destroy
rescue
end
end

This might be fruitful (I’m sure there’s a better regex for this):
find vendor/rails/activerecord -name *.rb -exec grep -n “[^_]raise[ \t]”
‘{}’ ; -print
Partial results:
activerecord/lib/active_record/associations/association_proxy.rb
983: raise ArgumentError, ‘:dependent and
:exclusively_dependent are mutually exclusive options. You may specify
one or the other.’
1010: raise ArgumentError, ‘The :dependent option expects
either :destroy, :delete_all, or :nullify’
1023: raise ArgumentError, “The :dependent option expects
either :destroy or :nullify.”
1285: raise ConfigurationError, “Association named ‘#{
associations }’ was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?”
