similar to: validates_inclusion_of disabling

Hi, I''m trying to run the "validates_inclusion_of" method in a before_save hook, because the range is dependant on the related data. But I can''t figure out how to call it. When calling it normally, it says it can''t find it. I''ve tried several combinations like "ActiveRecord::Validations.validates_inclusion_of", but I can''t seem to

It appears that if your trying to use validates_inclusion_of for a string value allow_nil wont work. For example, if I have an attribute :year which is stored as a varchar then: validates_inclusion_of :year, :in => "1980"..Time.now.year.to_s, allow_nil=>true will successfully validate the range but will not allow an empty input field to be submitted. However, if :year is

Hello, I am just starting off with Rails, so I apologize in advance if there is a terribly obvious answer to my problem. I''ve done some searching and found similar problems to my own, but nothing which yielded a solution. I have a handful of models that I am unit testing. The tests for each unit run successfully, but when I do a rake test, many of the tests fail. The assertions that

All, I have a field that I''m validating with validates_numericality_of on as well as validates_inclusion_of, like so: validates_numericality_of :number_of_owners, :only_integer => true, :message => ''must be a whole number'' validates_inclusion_of :number_of_owners, :in => 1..3,

I found out today that Range#include? behaves differently on 1.9 than on 1.8 ( http://rhnh.net/2009/08/03/range-include-in-ruby-1-9 ) In order to deal with various edge cases, instead of just checking whether range.first <= value <= range.last, in ruby 1.9 include? steps through all the values in the range, checking for equality. This is of course a lot slower - in my case, checking a date

I seem to be missing something trying to use ''validates_inclusion_of'' to validate a foreign key and was hoping some one could piont out my mistake? The problem seems to be that Order.find_all.collect is not returning an array that contains the order_id, if I replace it with a hardcoded array everything works as expected. The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

Hello, I tried to post this as a bug on the trac site, but whenever I hit submit, I got the error message: --- Precondition Failed The precondition on the request for the URL /newticket evaluated to false. --- Anyway... Let''s say I have the following model classes: --- class Project < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :tasks end class Task < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to

Hey guys, Trying to figure out how to do something like the following: class Child belongs_to :parent has_field :some_field, :through => :parent end class Parent has_one :child attr_accessible :some_field end child.some_field #=> parent.some_field child.some_field = value #=> sets parent.some_field = value I can of course accomplish this by adding custom accessors

I can''t get my view to display the most recent parameters from an associated object in a view... here is a birds-eye of my app: I have two models, Ferms and Kinetics. Ferm has_many :kinetics, Kinetic belongs_to :ferm. Kinetic has the fields ferm_id, brix and temp. In my ferms/index view I have a table listing the attributes of each ferm instance. I would like to display the most recent

Hi all - I've been working on a lite ORM and database abstraction package for R. Formatting complex queries by hand has always been an error-prone hassle, so I've tried to do away with that as much as possible, instead, using R objects to represent elements of a database system (statements, clauses, operators, functions, fields, tables, etc.). R5 classes have made the development of this

I''m trying to validate a record before save. I''m using one controller in this case furnii where I have all my calls. The problem is that, the form containing the field I''m trying to validate resides in the furnii views. I tried to add validates_presence_of :content (the field name) in both the furnii model and the ratecomment model but it does not work. I know there

Q: validates_inclusion_of does it''s validation *only* on save. Why is that the case? Wouldn''t it make more sense to include update as well? As is, I can only create an object with a valid column option, but I can update the column to whatever. Seems a bit odd to me... Any one able to shed some light on this for me? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

Here''s the issue: When I submit a form for updating, @person.update_attributes doesn''t work. But the next nested clause for updating images DOES work. How is that possible? However no matter what I do the Person object will not change its attributes. def edit @person = Person.find(params[:id]) if request.post? @person.update_attributes(params[:person])

Hello, I have a model Model: SPECIAL_FEATURES = %w(none top) class Model validates_inclusion_of :special_feature, :in => Model::SPECIAL_FEATURES, :on => :create, :message => "special_feature %s is not defined" belongs_to :team def special_feature attributes = attributes_before_type_cast if attributes["special_feature"]

Hello, I''m currently stunk on this issue for few days and I do not know how to get it fixed. The system always raises this error message : order is closed and here is my order.rb: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base include ActiveMerchant::Billing before_validation :set_status attr_protected :id, :customer_ip, :status, :error_message, :updated_at, :created_at attr_accessor

I''m having a bit of difficulty when testing my models, I''ve read a few times the testing chapter in Agile web development with rails and at http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/27 but i''m still unsure of what I should be testing. Firstly I''d like to be able to test things like my email validation using lines such as assert User.new(:email =>

Hi I''ve got a problem validating a boolean and I can''t see what the problem is. Here''s my model: class FinanceAgreement < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :asset validates_presence_of :finance_company validates_inclusion_of :balance, :in => 0.01..10_000_000 validates_inclusion_of :term, :in => 1..600 validates_numericality_of

This almost feels like a bug to me, since false is not nil. (i don''t think!) Using v_p_o on a boolean field fails validation if the field is passed with ''false''. It passes validation in the case of true. How can I validate _presence_of a boolean if it is submitted false? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

I''ve installed the gem "meta_where" (and it reported back: "Succeeded") but when I use the example in a search method of a controller: Person.where(:some_field.matches => ''%something%'') there is an error that it doesn''t know the method ''matches'', so what still needs to be done to properly activate the gem and make its

Hey, I''m new, so apologies if I''ve overlooked obvious resources or violated any etiquette rules for this list. Since rails does not support the MySQL enum data type, I''m following David''s advice of using a varchar and storing the valid values in the application: http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/rails/2005-January/001536.html So here''s my
