Cart has many line items.

edit app/models/cart.rb

class Cart < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :line_items, dependent: :destroy

end

Product has many line items.

edit app/models/product.rb

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :line_items

  before_destroy :ensure_not_referenced_by_any_line_item

  #...

  private

    # ensure that there are no line items referencing this product

    def ensure_not_referenced_by_any_line_item

      if line_items.empty?

        return true

      else

        errors.add(:base, 'Line Items present')

        return false

end

end

end

Line item belongs to both Cart and Product (But slightly more to the Cart). Also provide convenient access to the total price of the line item

edit app/models/line_item.rb

class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base

  belongs_to :product

  belongs_to :cart

end

Add a test ensuring that non-empty carts can't be deleted.

edit test/controllers/products_controller_test.rb

  test "can't delete product in cart" do

    assert_difference('Product.count', 0) do

      delete :destroy, id: products(:two)

end

    assert_redirected_to products_path

end

  test "should destroy product" do

    assert_difference('Product.count', -1) do

      delete :destroy, id: @product

end

    assert_redirected_to products_path

end

change fixture so that product two is in both carts

edit test/fixtures/line_items.yml

# Read about fixtures at http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/FixtureSet.html

one:

  product: two

  cart: one

two:

  product: two

  cart: two
