Rails - Jan 2006 - validates_confirmation_of not working

is there any special requirement for validates_confirmation_of ?  I am
trying to make sure 2 passwords are equal (cleanly the rails way)..

In my view i have two fields with id user[password] and
user[password_confirmation].

in the model i have

validates_confirmation_of :password, :message =>"Passwords do not match
"


Am i missing something here ?

thanks
adam

This is what I have and works good

in my view
<%= text_field "user", "password"%>
<%= text_field "user", "password_confirmation"%>

and in my model
validates_confirmation_of :password

and in controller

  def register
    if request.method == :post
      @user = User.new(params[:user])
      if @user.save
        session[:user] = @user
        redirect_to :controller => "mynerve"
      end
    else
      @user = User.new
    end
  end


So what exactly does not work?

I cant figure out why.

In your model, add this:

validates_confirmation_of :password (assuming your column is named password)


In your view.rhtml: (assuming your model is named user)

<%= password_field ''user'', ''password''
%>
<%= password_field ''user'',
''password_confirmation'' %>

If you have it like this, then something else is funky.

Well, I''m storing hashing and storing the password in the 
hashed_password column just like the Depot application in the Agile 
book.  And since validates_confirmation_of is only checking :password 
against :password_confirmation, this should be strictly a naming 
problem, right?

Sorry, that first sentence should read

"Well, I''m hashing and storing the password in the
hashed_password column just like the Depot application in the Agile
book."

Does your model have ''password'' as an attribute since its not
in the table?

attr :password

And don''t forget to protect your attributes.

attr_protected :hashed_password

the issue i had was not following the rails standard in the views. 
Once i changed everything to the

<%= text_field ''user'' , ''password'' %> 
setup so everything got passed
in as @params[:user] it worked ok.  The issue was i was just
submitting it as @params[:password] originally and not
@params[:user]["password"]
