Rails - May 2011 - How to get my cart destroy to run a line item destroy method

Hello,

Complete novice here.  I have a line_item that once created or updated
calculates the capacity left and displays it in the events view.  The
Add to Cart button triggers the create line_item method.  I''ve added
further capacity calculations to the line_item destroy method. My
problem is that the line_item destroy method is not called when the cart
is destroyed.

class Cart < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :line_items, :dependent => :destroy

The line items are destroyed but the functionality in the line_item
destroy method does not run.

Line Item Controller  ----

def destroy
    @line_item = LineItem.find(params[:id])
    event = @line_item.event
    new_quantity = params[:line_item_quantity].to_i
    change_in_capacity = @line_item.quantity + new_quantity

    respond_to do |format|

      @line_item.destroy
      event.capacity = change_in_capacity
      event.save


So I tried to add a call to it in the Cart Controller as follows  ----

def destroy
    @cart = Cart.find(params[:id])
    @line_item = LineItem.find(params[:cart_id])
    @cart.destroy
    @line_item.destroy
    session[:cart_id] = nil

but I can''t seem to find the line item this way

"Couldn''t find LineItem without an ID"

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance from a complete beginner.

This can''t work because the event is associated to a line_item. You
have
to clone the event if you want to use it after deleting the line_item.
event = @line_item.event.clone
>     @line_item = LineItem.find(params[:cart_id])
This should be LineItem.find_by_cart_id(params[:cart_id])
