Are there destroy_all!/delete_all! in Rails?

Question

We are looking for a command to delete multiple records within Rails transaction. To make it trigger within transaction, we used destroy_all! and delete_all! and received method not defined error. What's the right delete command (or right way) for multiple records which triggers in Rails transaction?

Answer 1

No, there are no methods called delete_all! or destroy_all!. See the documentation.

Use delete_all or destroy_all instead. These methods will raise ActiveRecord errors if deletion fails. It means your transaction will be rolled back in case of errors as you expected.
