We recently updated the interactor gem and ran into an interesting issue where fail! would trigger any ActiveRecord relations passed in the context to be evaluated.
The issue ended up being because of a rescue in one of our interactors doing exception.to_s'. And because the context is an OpenStruct, to_s would print out the results of the ActiveRecord relations because for each key, it does value.inspect
Here is a very simple reproduction that works in console.
class SimpleTest
include Interactor
def call
begin
context.fail!
rescue => e
puts e.to_s
end
end
end
SimpleTest.call(offices: Somemodel.all, users: AnotherModel.all);
The fix we are using is adding a to_s in Interactor::Failure. If someone wants to access the context, it's already on Failure here: https://github.com/collectiveidea/interactor/blob/master/lib/interactor/error.rb#L27
Would this fix be something you are interested in having a Pull Request for? If so I can submit one.
Thanks
