undefined method `destroy' on Public Activity

Question

User\'s can comment on a Screen and it\'s tracked by PublicActivity :

@comment.create_activity :create, owner: current_user, recipient: @comment.screen.user
         


        

Answer 1

This isn't tested, but this is what I think you should do.

First you can remove the references to activities in your screens_controller#destroy

Then in your comments_controller#destroy

  @comment = current_user.comments.find(params[:id])
  @activity = PublicActivity::Activity.find_by(trackable_id: (params[:id]), trackable_type: controller_path.classify)
  @activity.destroy
  @comment.destroy

Should be outside of your respond to block

Next in your comments model you should do something like this:

#comment.rb

private

before_destroy :find_and_destroy_comments

def find_and_destroy_comments
  activity = PublicActivity::Activity.find_by(trackable_id: self.id, trackable_type: self.class.name)
  if activity.present?
    activity.destroy
  end
end

calling the before_destroy method overrides the default ruby destroy method that is called during dependent: :destroy

Let me know if this works, but It should.
