similar to: Rolling up validates_associated error messages into parent

Hi, I have a class (say Parent) that has many of two other classes, say FirstChild and SecondChild. These could look like this: class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :first_children, :dependent => true has_many :first_children, :dependent => true validates_associated :first_children validates_associated :second_children end class FirstChild < ActiveRecord::Base

Regarding validates_associated... Let''s say I have: article belongs_to author But for whatever reason, I want an article to also be written anonymously and therefore not require an author. Then I have: Article: belongs_to :author validates_associated :author But I DON''T have validates_presence_of. What I want to do is validate that an author is valid --if it is

I have an db table that associates two things from the same table. people_alt_people ----------------- person_id alt_person_id So my ActiveRecord looks like: class PeopleAltPerson < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person belongs_to :altperson, :class_name => ''Person'', :foreign_key => ''alt_person_id'' validates_presence_of :person

I''d almost think the presence of "validates_associated" is causing the associated model to run validation twice. The associated model, Upload, which handles uploaded files and saves them, is saving each uploaded file twice in a row. This doesn''t happen if I remove "validates_associated" from the model it belongs to, or if I have the model save files during

Here is my model: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :users, :dependent => :destroy has_many :bus belongs_to :currency has_many :mylogs, :dependent => :destroy has_many :batchuserdefines, :dependent => :destroy has_many :materialuserdefines, :dependent => :destroy has_many :materials has_many :inventories has_many :batchs has_many :courses has_many

HI all- I have two models, Story and Tag, and they are habtm. My goal is to show the errors for @story in a form on both new and edit.

First the models: class Story < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :tag_string_holder #holds a CSV of tags ... has_and_belongs_to_many :tags, :uniq=> true ... def

Hi, I am using validates_associated to validate some child models. The validation of the children stops after the first failed validation. i would like to validate all the children so that errors for more than one can be displayed in a form. Is there a way to do this without looping through all the children? Thanks, Peter

By trial and error I seem to arrive to the conclusion that 1. Validation recurses through has_many by default and a root save! call raises an excepcion if some child no matter how nested is fails validation 2. Validation does not recurse through has_one by default and you can change this with validates_associated, in which case exceptions behave like above

Hello, I have a situation where an ''employee'' belongs to a ''department'' and have setup the relationship as follows. class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :department, :foregin_key => "department_id" validates_associated :department_id end class Department < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :employees def validate_on_update

Perhaps I''m misunderstanding what''s happening here, but I''m having a problem with not being able to disable the validation of an associated collection if that collection contains a new record. Example... class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :email_addresses validates_associated :email_addresses, :if => Proc.new { false } end p = Person.new

In my schema, a question has_many :answers. When the validations are run on a question, and one of the answers is not valid, then i get "Answers is not valid" coming out of errors.full_messages. I don''t want this, i''m already testing the validity of the answers and this is an ugly and uninformative error message. It looks like it''s the message i would get

Dear readers, I am puzzles by the following, imagine models A and B. A has_one B and B belongs_to A. So far so good. But rails does this great thing by relfecting on this relationship and enables me use the equals sign to do A.B=B. But now comes the puzzlement. Whenever you do this B is supposed to be saved (see,

Hi, I think I''m missing some fundamental information here so hopefully someone can help me. I have a model Club which has many members, members of course belong to a Club. I''d like to ensure that when a members is saved (saved/created/updated) only valid club_id''s are accepted. I have a Club model (simplified) like this: class Club < ActiveRecord::Base

i seem to be experiencing a bug where rails tells me that my organization object''s associated credit card is invalid (activerecord validation-wise invalid), when i know it to be valid. this happens only if i tell the organization to validate_associated :credit_card. i know the associated credit card is valid, because a) that credit_card object itself throws no validation errors, and b)

Hello, Have you guys noticed that conditional validation with validates_associated does not work well when you are creating a new record? Consider this gist: https://gist.github.com/aflag/4780225 The Lawyer class has validates_associated on address conditioned on whether the Lawyer data comes from a known source or not. So, if lawyer.source equals to some string, then lawyer.address must
