Skip validation on dependent: :destroy
I am having a User and a Company model like below. Company model has some validations.
user.rb
after_create :create_tables!
def create_tables!
companies.create!(handle: "random_handle")
end
company.rb
before_destroy :check_for_presence_of_a_company!
def check_for_presence_of_a_company!
if user.companies.count <= 1
errors.add(:base, 'You cannot delete all of your companies.')
throw(:abort)
end
end
when user creates account for the first time i create a company for him using after_create in User model and before deleting a company he should have atleast one company.
But the problem is when user tries to delete his account, the above company validations throws error.
When user deletes his account, it should neglect the above validation company.rb. How can i achieve this? Thanks.
Edit
In user.rb i updated
has_many :companies,dependent: :destroy
to
has_many :companies,dependent: :delete_all
But company.rb
has_many :categories, dependent: :destroy
and shows violates foreign key constraint error. Updating it from destroy to delete_all is also not working.

Instead of using dependent: :destroy you can add a after_destroy callback and call delete or delete_all (which doesn't run validations).
# user.rb
after_destroy :delete_companies
def delete_companies
companies.delete_all
end

I assume you have this (although you didn't show it):
class User
has_many :companies, dependent: :destroy
end
If so, you can change :destroy to :delete_all:
has_many :companies, dependent: :delete_all
Per https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html#method-i-has_many:
:delete_allcauses all the associated objects to be deleted directly from the database (so callbacks will not be executed).
(n.b. since callbacks on Company won't be run, if you need additional associations to be deleted, you'd have to handle those separately.)
