move_higher and move_lower need to be ran twice

7vs opened this issue · comments

Hi,
I have an issue with acts_as_list in a simple has_many relationship.
When I try to update the position of items using the provided method I get an error:
'position taken', but if I run it again, I've got what was expected. Any thoughts?

@messages={:position=>["translation missing: eu.activerecord.errors.models.option.attributes.position.taken"]}, @details={:position=>[{:error=>:taken, :value=>1}]}>

here is the update action:

Hi @7vs, looks like you have a uniqueness constraint? Take a look at the sequential_updates feature that will shuffle things around atomically so that you don't end up setting two positions the same while the shuffle happens.

Hi @brendon, thanks for your reply, I've seen thesequential _updates features now and I've removed the uniqueness constraint, delegating that work to the gem:
validates_uniqueness_of :position, scope: :menu_id
Thank you.

Hi @7vs, you should be able to keep the uniqueness constraint (on the database if you want) and it should all still work. That's what it was designed for :)

I've removed the uniqueness constraint

@7vs Oops, this is a bad idea. Constraints should be enforced on the database level. sequential_updates will work constraints.

@7vs Oops, this is a bad idea.

Yes, @swanandp I figured it out after testing it properly. I managed to return back my constraint so everything is working smoothly now. Thank you both :)
