🚫 Skip Callbacks with skip_callback​

Sometimes you need to bypass callbacks in tests or special flows. Use skip_callback to disable them temporarily and restore later.

class Payment < ApplicationRecord
  before_save :charge_external_service
end

# Disable callback globally
Payment.skip_callback(:save, :before, :charge_external_service)
# ...perform actions without charging...
Payment.set_callback(:save, :before, :charge_external_service)

Be cautious: disabling callbacks affects all future operations, so restore them immediately after.
