:dependent => :destroy

Doesn't seem to work for model associations on citier child models

Any model association on a citier child model will not be destroy when the parent is destroyed

ie

has_many :promotions, :dependent => :destroy

is on a citier model

promotions will hang around even after the citier model is wacked

Hmm... which fork are you using? My first test of dependent => destroy seems to work

My model looks like:

class Condition < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_citier
  belongs_to :testable, :polymorphic => true
end

class ConditionSet < Condition
  acts_as_citier
  has_many conditions, :as => :testable, :dependent => destroy
end

And my rspec test using FactoryGirl to create one condition_set object with 3 associated conditions (of different types) look like this:

it "should destroy child associations" do
  cond = Factory(:complex_cond_set)
  (conds = cond.conditions).should_not be_empty
  Condition.all.should_not be_empty
  cond.destroy
  conds.conditions.should be_empty
  conds.each { |c| Condition.find_by_id(c.id).should be_nil }
end

This passes. I still haven't associated a non-citier model with a citier one, that's next up. For example: Model A has_many :conditions, :as => :testable, :dependent => :destroy I'll let you know if that passes or not.

Is what is not working for me.

As well. If you don't save your citier model before attaching a non citier association to it, it will not properly populate the foreign keys...

Let me know if you have a different experience. I really love the concept, the performance gains from not having to do joins is a real bonus....
