Please take a look at my PR. |
This is a 4th attempt to make counter cache transactional completely. Past attempts: rails#9236, rails#14849, rails#23357. All existing counter cache issues (increment/decrement twice, lost increment) are caused due to updating counter cache on the outside of the record saving transaction by assigning belongs_to record, even though assigning that doesn't cause the record saving. We have the `@_after_replace_counter_called` guard condition to mitigate double increment/decrement issues, but we can't completely prevent that inconsistency as long as updating counter cache on the outside of the transaction, since saving the record is not always happened after that. We already have handling counter cache after create/update/destroy, https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/1b90f614b1b3d06b7f02a8b9ea6cd84f15d58643/activerecord/lib/active_record/counter_cache.rb#L162-L189 https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/1b90f614b1b3d06b7f02a8b9ea6cd84f15d58643/activerecord/lib/active_record/associations/builder/belongs_to.rb#L33-L59 so just removing assigning logic on the belongs_to association makes counter cache transactional completely. Closes rails#14849. Closes rails#23357. Closes rails#31493. Closes rails#31494. Closes rails#32372. Closes rails#33113. Closes rails#33117 Closes rails#33129. Closes rails#33458.
