Question

I have the the following after create method in my record model that keeps throwing an Stack level too deep error every time i try creating a new record:

class record

  has_many :authorizations
  has_many :roles, :through => :authorizations, :dependent => :destroy, :primary_key => :record_secondary_id

  after_create :new_record

  def create_roles
    self.roles.create :name => "#{self.record_title} edit", :record_id => self.id, :edit => true, :review => false
    self.roles.create :name => "#{self.record_title} review", :record_id => self.id, :edit => false, :review => true
  end

  def set_secondary_id
      self.update_attribute :record_secondary_id, self.id
  end

  def new_record
    if self.record_secondary_id.blank?
      set_secondary_id
      create_roles
    end
  end
  end

end

Answer 1

I think your problem might be coming from the following call:

 has_many :authorizations
 has_many :roles, :through => :authorizations, :dependent => :destroy, :primary_key => :record_secondary_id

change that to:

  has_many :authorizations, :dependent => :destroy, :primary_key => :record_secondary_id
  has_many :roles, :through => :authorizations

that should fix your problem.
