Problem deleting item

[morenoh149]

I'm writing a test and deleting items in the reverse order from which they were created.

Say Model B requires a relationship to Model A. Create Model a Create Model b where b.A = a Delete Model b. When deleting Model a I get

/project/env/project/lib/python2.7/site-packages/softdelete/models.py in delete
                self._do_delete(cs, x) ...
▶ Local vars
/project/env/project/lib/python2.7/site-packages/softdelete/models.py in _do_delete
                    getattr(self, rel).__class__.objects.all().delete() 

type object 'RelatedManager' has no attribute 'objects'

What's going on?

The RelatedManager class does not have .objects.

We either want to use related_set Or I'm somehow using this plugin wrong

the line number seems to map to https://github.com/scoursen/django-softdelete/blob/master/softdelete/models.py#L185 my full error

@morenoh149 did you ever find a solution ?

[morenoh149]

@ssidorenko I don't think so. These days I just add a deleted_at timestamp and use orm filters in the views.

I have fixed this issue in #86, let me know if this works for you.
