Procedural transaction is a gem that adds methods to ActiveRecord::Base for managing transactions procedurally (i.e. without the ActiveRecord::Base.transaction method’s block syntax.)
This was written for situations where transaction control is necessary but cannot be applied using blocks, such as in a test setup/teardown.
To start a new transaction:
ActiveRecord::Base.start_transaction
To rollback the current transaction:
ActiveRecord::Base.rollback_transaction
WARNING: These methods operate on the currently-open transaction, whether or not you started it.
The procedural_transactions gem in hosted on Gemcutter.org
gem install procedural_transactions
In the appropriate rails environment, add:
config.gem "procedural_transactions"
