Bubbling Up Nested-transaction Failures with ActiveRecord

Question

Another easier approach, you can raise an CustomError < StandardError. Unlike ActiveRecord::Rollback, Error will bubble up through parent transactions. You can handle it wherever required. All other inner transactions will be rolled back.

Try the below template.

    ActiveRecord::Base.transacton do
        raise StandardError.new
    end
end
