Rails - Jan 2009 - Can anyone see why the pw validation is failing?

I have a simple form to allow the user to update their password. It
always throws the error saying that the password is too short (they are
over the min of 6 chars).  The passwords are making it in to the model
just fine.  If I raise an exception within the before_validation user
method the password and password confirmation values both exist, but it
still throws an error.

I do have both the pw and pw_conf as attr_accessible in the users model.

I am stumped to why it is doing this.  Any ideas?

def password
    @user = current_user
    return if request.get?

    if @user.update_attributes(
      :password => params[:password],
      :password_confirmation => params[:password_confirmation])
        flash[:success] = "Your password has been updated."
        redirect_to admin_user_path(@user)
    else
      render :action => :password
    end
  end

Here is the form.

- form_tag "/admin/users/password"  do
  %fieldset
    = form_field("Password", :tip => "required") {
password_field
:password, nil, :size => 15 }
    = form_field("Password Confirmation", :tip =>
"required") {
password_field :password_confirmation, nil, :size => 15 }

  .buttons
    = submit_tag "Save Password"
    or
    = link_to "Cancel", admin_user_path(@user)

Looking at the params that are submitted would probably tell you why.
You''re abusing password_field by passing nil as the second argument.
You could either use form builders, form for etc... use password_field
properly (ie first parameter is the name of an instance variable, 2nd
is a method name) or use password_field_tag.

And if you''re lucky enough that rails lets you get away with that,
then showing the code that''s actually relevant here (ie the model and
its validations) would be useful.

That would be it.  What threw me was that when debugging things I could 
see the password and pwc set within the model, both before and after the 
validation, but it would continue saying that it wasn''t there.

Thanks for the help Fred.
