I have a question on rails validates. I need to validate that one field is
filled out if another field has a certain value. The code is below, but if
license has extended selected then the extended license type needs to be
filled in. I have this but it isn''t working, when I fill the form out
and
select extended and don''t check anything for extended_license_type, it
validates fine and I get no error message.
validates :license, presence: true
validates :extended_license_type, presence: true, :if =>
:license_extended?
private
def license_extended?
license == ''extended''
end

Seems to look okay, but maybe try removing "private" from the license_extended? method? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Meant to add: this could be the problem since the Validator object cannot access the method on your model instance, so it''s always returning "false". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I actually figured this out. Looged at the debug console on my app and noticed that with the extended_license_type it was passing a ''0'' back since none of the check boxes were checked. My validates only checks for the presence of that field and ''0'' is something so that is what it was.
