Question

I have two after_create callbacks on the same model, and the 2nd one depends on an attribute (say client.score) not being nil. In the first one, it runs a calculation and sets that attribute in question to some non-nil value.

But it seems that even though I have them right after each other in my model file like this:

after_create :callback1
after_create :callback2

Whenever callback2 is run, it is still getting client.score to be nil.

How can I force the second one to be run after the first one?

Answer 1

You could do something like this

def some_action
    callback1
    callback2
end

after_create :some_action

However, per the docs, your code sample should be fine too

Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as methods on the model, which are called last.
