I have a large and complicated User model that looks something like this:
class User
class Link
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial, :key => false
belongs_to :follower, :model => 'User', :key => true
belongs_to :followed, :model => 'User', :key => true
end
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :username, String, :required => true
has n, :links_to_followers, :model => 'User::Link', :child_key => [:followed_id]
has n, :links_to_followed, :model => 'User::Link', :child_key => [:follower_id]
has n, :comments
has 1, :profile_image
end
My problem is that Datamapper is not letting me Destroy it. I thought this was a result of Datamapper not wanting to destroy an object with un-destroyed child objects so I put in a method destroy_deep that calls destroy on the links_to_followers, links_to_followed, underlying comments, and the profile image (these are all destroyed correctly).
However, even if I call user.destroy after that, the user is not destroyed. There are no error messages of any kind. Is there some kind of cascading delete command that I am missing?
