similar to: validates_inclusion_of

It appears that if your trying to use validates_inclusion_of for a string value allow_nil wont work. For example, if I have an attribute :year which is stored as a varchar then: validates_inclusion_of :year, :in => "1980"..Time.now.year.to_s, allow_nil=>true will successfully validate the range but will not allow an empty input field to be submitted. However, if :year is

Hello, I am just starting off with Rails, so I apologize in advance if there is a terribly obvious answer to my problem. I''ve done some searching and found similar problems to my own, but nothing which yielded a solution. I have a handful of models that I am unit testing. The tests for each unit run successfully, but when I do a rake test, many of the tests fail. The assertions that

Hello all. I have a problem using validates_inclusion_of. I need to switch off some validations during a migration period, is there a way? I tried to use if, with a static method of one of my models, but the behaviour is something strange It seems that the static method should be in a string to be evaluated. And the order of the elements in the if is counting... :if => (:some_field

I found out today that Range#include? behaves differently on 1.9 than on 1.8 ( http://rhnh.net/2009/08/03/range-include-in-ruby-1-9 ) In order to deal with various edge cases, instead of just checking whether range.first <= value <= range.last, in ruby 1.9 include? steps through all the values in the range, checking for equality. This is of course a lot slower - in my case, checking a date

I seem to be missing something trying to use ''validates_inclusion_of'' to validate a foreign key and was hoping some one could piont out my mistake? The problem seems to be that Order.find_all.collect is not returning an array that contains the order_id, if I replace it with a hardcoded array everything works as expected. The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

Hi, I''m trying to run the "validates_inclusion_of" method in a before_save hook, because the range is dependant on the related data. But I can''t figure out how to call it. When calling it normally, it says it can''t find it. I''ve tried several combinations like "ActiveRecord::Validations.validates_inclusion_of", but I can''t seem to

Hi I''ve got a problem validating a boolean and I can''t see what the problem is.

This is the code I''m trying to get to work: validates_inclusion_of :status, :in => poll_statuses().keys def poll_statuses return { "closed" => "Closed", "open" => "Open" } end It says there''s no poll_statuses method in Poll. How do I access this method? I''ve tried

Hi there I''ve got a copy of the ''Beginning Ruby on Rails Ecommerce'' book and am trying to integrate ActiveMerchant into my app. My order.rb file has the line: ''include ActiveMerchant::Billing'' per the book. My Order model also has, amongst other things, the following validation: '' validates_inclusion_of :billing_country, :in =>

Now that we have the big Rails 2.0 release out the door, it''s a lot easier to push out smaller updates more frequently. So that''s what we''re going to do. Rails 2.0.2 contains a bunch of smaller fixes to various bugs, no show-stopping action, just further polish. But it also contains a few new defaults:

I have the following ActiveRecord objects: class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :ratings, :dependent => true . . . end class Rating < ActiveRecord::Base validates_uniqueness_of :created_by, :scope => :recipe_id belongs_to :recipe, :counter_cache => true . . . end The created_by field on Rating is implemented as a "magic" field similar to this:

If I run "rails my_app" I get 1.2.1 produced skeleton code. Is there a way to get 1.1.6 results? Regards, Andy Koch --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this

Hello, I''m having trouble with after_validation_on_create causing my validations to fail silently. I''ve got a restful_authentication based user model that requires a number of things from the user: email, dob, gender, etc. When a user is created, all of these are validated in various ways (presence, inclusion_of, etc.). Afterwards, I call three protected methods using

Sorry if I''m just dumbing out, but is there a reason that when using Single Table Inheritance Rails doesn''t really validate the "type" field or provide some mechanism to do so? seems like a good way to corrupt a database. Because the "type" is also a special attribute, I had to resort to an ugly hack like: class ActiveRecord::Base def type_attr

I''m occasionally getting an odd Rails error that says "marshal data too short". Our entire web app seems to be working fine -- we can post forms, save models, redirect, login, etc, without any problems. Then out of nowhere a request will result in the 500 error "marshal data too short". Subsequent requests to *any* page then result in the same error -- even pages
