Rails - Nov 2005 - def validate in a module does not get called

Anyone have ideas on this one:

I have a module that I include in two models.  Each of these models do
the same validation so I tried to put the shared validate method in
the module.  Problem is that this validate never gets called.

Scary thing is that it does get called in my unit tests.

I am on 14.3  recently upgraded from 13.1

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks,

Dave

Please send us some code to look at. It is pretty hard to debug it with the
information you gave.

My guess is that you are accessing the validations differently between the
two, subtly. But I would have to see the code to verify.

Warmest regards,
Nathan.

Looks like the problem was that the module class was not getting
reloaded automatically.  A restart of WebBrick made it all happy now.

Thanks,
