Question

I call this method in my controller:

delete_heard_timeline_event(current_user.id, @showable_video.user.id, @showable_video.video.id)

and I definite it in my model:

  def delete_heard_timeline_event(actor_id, subject_id, secondary_subject_id)
      TimelineEvent.find_by_actor_id_and_subject_id_and_secondary_subject_id_and_event_type(actor_id, subject_id, secondary_subject_id, 'heard_event').destroy
  end 

Why is rails telling me that the method is undefined?

Answer 1

If you defined this method as instance method so you need to to call it like this:

a = YourModelName.new
a.delete_heard_timeline_event(your_parameters)

and if this methods is class method so call:

YourModelName.delete_heard_timeline_event(your_parameters)
