search for: find_by_email

Hi all, My unit tests and functional tests are failing because my tests aren''t authenticated. I''m using using user engine and login engine. How can I fake authentication to make my tests work properly. Thanks, Jason Edgecombe

How would I use validations to ensure I either received a blank value or a ten digit number? If I set validates_length_of :field, :in => 0..10 then that would allow any value in-between. The allow_nil => true option does not seem to work. I''ve also tried using this with some combination of validates_numericality_of but cannot get it to work. Any help would be greatly
