ActiveRecord callback not triggering when using `update_all` in Rails 6
I'm trying to debug I've hit a wall trying to I need help solving I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I'm a bit lost with I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help....... I'm working with an scenario where my ActiveRecord callbacks are not being triggered when I use `update_all` to update records in my Rails 6 application. I have defined a callback to set a timestamp whenever a record is updated, but it seems to be ignored during bulk updates. Here's the relevant part of my model: ```ruby class Post < ApplicationRecord before_update :set_updated_at private def set_updated_at self.updated_at = Time.current end end ``` When I run the following code to update multiple records: ```ruby Post.where(published: true).update_all(published: false) ``` I expect the `updated_at` timestamp to be set for each record, but it remains unchanged. I checked the Rails documentation and it mentions that `update_all` skips callbacks for performance reasons. However, I need to have a custom behavior that still respects the callback. I did try to use `update` in a loop as a workaround, but it’s very slow with large datasets: ```ruby Post.where(published: true).find_each do |post| post.update(published: false) end ``` Is there a more efficient way to achieve my goal without sacrificing the callback functionality? What are my options here, considering performance? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Ruby on Ubuntu. How would you solve this? I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Is this even possible? Thanks for any help you can provide! This is my first time working with Ruby stable. What's the correct way to implement this? This is part of a larger desktop app I'm building. Is this even possible? My team is using Ruby for this web app. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm working in a macOS environment. Any suggestions would be helpful.
