Hook's aren't firing

[andrewpthorp]

Using:

• DataMapper - (1.0.2)
• Sinatra - (1.3.4)
• dm-is-sluggable - (0.9.10)

I have the following code:

class Post
  include DataMapper::Resource
  is :sluggable

  property :id, Serial
  property :slug, String
  property :title, String, required: true, length: 255
  property :body, Text, required: true
  property :created_at, DateTime
  property :updated_at, DateTime

  before :create do
    puts "Generating Slug"
    set_slug(self.title.to_slug)
  end
end

In my route:

post "/blog" do
  @post = Post.new(params[:post])
  if @post.save!
    redirect "/blog"
  else
    haml :"posts/new", layout: true
  end
end

I am not seeing "Generating Slug" in my output, and the slug is being left as nil. Alternatively, if I manually call @post.set_slug(@post.title.to_slug) on the instance, it will write to the STDOUT and generate the slug just fine. I have tried before :create and before :save, neither has worked.

That's because #save! bypasses hooks. As clearly documented here: http://datamapper.org/docs/create_and_destroy

Ah, thanks for that. I'm still a little too used to ActiveRecord, I suppose :)
