Question

I have the following after_save callbacks defined in my model.

after_save :validate_image, :publish, :update_some_data, :send_notifications

Is it possible to skip rest of the after_save callbacks based on some condition in validate_image, so something like this –

def validate_image
  if image_not_valid
    # skip rest of the callbacks in the after_save chain
    destroy # destroy this record
  end
end

NOTE:- I am also destroying the record based on that condition and I have some “after_destroy” callbacks that need to be executed.

I am using Rails v3.2.6 with Mongoid v2.4.10, but I guess it wont make a difference if it was ActiveRecord.

Answer 1

change your before_save definition like this

after_save do
   validate_image
   unless image_not_valid
       publish 
       update_some_data 
       send_notifications
   end
end
