Long story made short: I can't definte a save hook with one class that involves another object getting saved, because it triggers the same hook again.
!! Unexpected error while processing request: stack level too deep
Doh!
Then I tried redefining the save method:
def save
myaccount = self.account
myaccount.cached_journal_balance = myaccount.journal_balance
self.myaccount.save
super
end
No go:
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000, CTRL+C to stop !! Unexpected error while processing request: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
Grrrr... I believe part of the problem is that the class I'm trying to work with is inherited by a couple others.
It looks like I might have been able to get away with this lame-o instance variable on a parent object:
after :save, :account_balances
before :save, :unsaved
def unsaved
entry = self.entry
if entry.saved == nil
entry.saved = 0
end
end
def account_balances
entry = self.entry
if entry.saved == 0
entry.saved = 1
account = Account.get(account_id)
puts account.id
mybal = account.journal_balance
puts mybal
account.cached_journal_balance = mybal
account.save
end
end
I'm not exactly sure why its working (and I don't think its working extremely well), but so far so good.
