Watching Categories based on on group in discourse

This is because I added a find_by_slug method in Category model:

discourse/discourse/blob/be3a5a56ccc284b352aa65080fc6b955f73cc72a/app/models/category.rb#L454-L462


      
            def self.find_by_slug(category_slug, parent_category_slug=nil)
              if parent_category_slug
                parent_category_id = self.where(slug: parent_category_slug, parent_category_id: nil).pluck(:id).first
                self.where(slug: category_slug, parent_category_id: parent_category_id).first
              else
                self.where(slug: category_slug, parent_category_id: nil).first
              end
            end
          end

As you can see in above snippet, this method requires both category_slug and parent_category_slug, so you will have to pass parent_category_slug as well if applicable.
