I have a large number of models with attributes like backup_started_at, backup_ended_at; essentially paired dates. To ensure that start dates are always on or prior to end dates, I have written a custom validation (config/initializers/validators.rb), and I am wondering how to test it. Ideas? Is there a best practice for this sort of thing? Cheers-- Charles -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m not an expert on rails testing, but that''s where I''d expect it to checked. -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Still, this seems like an odd way to test the validation code, and perhaps with such a simple validation unit testing the models that have the validator is enough.

Run tests that do not validate and ones that validate to confirm both
