Activerecord transaction

Rails
1

hello all

I have one form… which provide data to three tables, 3 Models. i am
trying to setup a transaction for save statement. seems like i am
missing something… as this is not working properly. following is my
code:

User.transaction do
@user = User.new(params[:user])

    @user.save

    @user_details = UserDetail.new(params[:user_detail])
    @user_details.user_id = @user.id
    @user_details.save

    @user_tree = UserTree.new()
    @user_tree.user_id = @user.id
    @user_tree.save

end

if something goes wrong then User table is not creating new row but
other two tables get new rows.

any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Depending on the nature of your relationships you might be able to do
this (which has automatic transaction wrapping on the DB):

@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.build_user_detail(params[:user_detail])
@user.build_user_tree
@user.save

If either UserDetail or UserTree uses a has_many relationship then you
can use @user.user_xxxs.build(params[:user_xxx])

What are you expecting to happen? are you expecting this to rollback
if @user.save fails? Rollback only happens if an exception is thrown,
and save just returns false if validation fails. save! on the other
hand throws an exception when validation fails
