This is pretty much the same as last time around, if you recall. Thanks to Wilson for converting to the new form. I''ve added a few lines. Basically, it iterates over your model associations and does two things. - First, just try to call the association. Usually fixes speeling erors or other such silliness. - Second, try to find a record with an :include on the association. This

Is there an expert validater that can point me in the right direction? I''ve looked for extended documentation on ''validates_presence_of'' but i can''t seem to find any. I''m trying to make sure that i don''t enter a nil object in my database, so i''ve added validate_presence_of to my Record Model. i.e. --> class Record <

I have a rather complex object with a number of attributes. For a variety of reasons, I would like one view to create the object with only a couple of fields completed, then a second and third view to finish all the fields. I would like the model to validate_presence_of all these fields, since eventually I need them all there, and I would like each page to validate its portion of the fields that

I''m trying validate date before they''re stored into the DB, but it seems, validation doesn''t work.. my model looks like this: class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :contacts, :foreign_key =>''company_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, :join_table => ''company_to_category'', :foreign_key =>

Is it possible to change error messages for Validation helpers? I am writing an app against a existing database (so no control over column names), but when there is validation error (e.g. with validate_presence_of) I would like to customize the field name. For example for telephone whose field name is PhoneNumber I would like to chnage it to "Telephone Number cannot be empty" rather

Hi all, I just begun with RoR and going through the Agile development w Rails depot example ATM. I did everything according to the book (i believe), and after 3 hours of googling, reading docs, making sure i did everything correctly i can not make the validate_presence_of() to work - at least not as it looks in the book. My Product model looks like: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base

In rspec_on_rails, the spec:doc task uses --dry-run, which doesn''t jive well with rspec''s ability to write docs for you. For example, I use the rspec_expectation_matchers plugin from spicycode.com (scanned for a name, didn''t find one =), and end up writing specs like: it { @ticket.should validate_presence_of(:name) } Which results in specdocs such as: Ticket

Hi, I have a member registration form which takes a "Name", "Login", "Password", "Confirm Password" and "Location".

I''ve found myself mocking out a published api in my set-up method. This has led to some contexts having a large set-up and empty specifications. As the mocks get auto-verified, the specification blocks have nothing to do but serve as documentation. Does this sound bad? Chris

Sometimes I want to show just one error, even when a field fails two or three validations. A custom validation method is easy enough, but the helpers are nice and concise. So, has anyone found a way of doing this with AR''s validation helpers? The :if/:unless look promising, but its made harder by validations being applied in a random order. - Andy P.s. The validatable gem has the

I could be going mad and missing something really obvious here but I''m getting an unexpected result from the following. The schema: create_table :services, :force => true do |t| t.column :id, :primary_key t.column :name, :string, :ilmit => 5, :null => false t.column :port, :integer, :null => false t.column :status, :string end The model: class Service <

Last night a friend of mine started ranting about validates_presence_of :boolean_field returning not valid when the boolean field is false. I checked the rails issues and this seems to be a pretty common concern about the naming of ''presence'' . Instead of changing the behaviour of the presence validator, I was wondering if maybe the answer to avoid such misconceptions could be

I recently wrote a matcher for testing AR associations which allows you to specify things like: Foo.should have_many(:bars).through(:bazes) I''m pretty darned proud of it and a couple of people have suggested that I should submit it to the rspec_on_rails project. Before I go to the trouble of writing out rdoc and fully spec''ing it, I just wanted to make sure this was

Hi, guys, I''m learning to use Rails, and, while reading the "Rails: Up And Running" book, I tried to make an insertion validation, using the following code: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :filename end It simply didn''t work, the validation does nothing and an insertion with an empty field returns TRUE. What''s wrong?
