How to handle error in event machine using transitions gem on rails?

Question

I am working on event machine (transitions gem) in rails 4.2 , I wrote a method named send_data and when state changed from pending to deliver, the send_data will be fired.

def send_data
    data = { 'remote_id' => order.remote_id,
             'items' => order.line_items
           }
    SendLineItemsToWebshop.call(data)        
  end

SendLineItemsToWebshop is an another class which calls call method and waiting for some response, if response come , then event will be fired(state will be changed) , otherwise, state will be same.

require 'bunny'
require 'thread'
class SendLineItemsToWebshop
  def self.call(data)
    conn = Bunny.new(automatically_recover: false)
    conn.start
    channel = conn.create_channel
    response = call_client(channel, data)
    channel.queue(ENV['BLISS_RPC_QUEUE_NAME']).pop
    channel.close
    conn.close
    self.response(response)
  end

  def self.call_client(channel, data)
    client = RpcClient.new(channel, ENV['BLISS_RPC_QUEUE_NAME'])
    client.call(data)
  end

  def self.response(response)
    return response
    JSON.parse response
  end
end

But problem is that when event deliver is called, it does not check send_data's response comes or not, it changes the state. Here is me deliver event:

event :deliver do
      transitions :to => :delivered, :from => [:editing, :pending] , on_transition: [ :send_data ]
    end

But I want that if response is false or nil, transition state will not be changed. State will be changed only when response comes true. Please help me about this issue.

The Transitions gem has a nice guard feature. Add a simple logical test like can_be_delivered? and try this:

event :deliver do
  transitions :to => :delivered, :from => [:editing, :pending], guard: [:can_be_delivered?]
end
