I''ve got User has_one Shop. Rails is not validating when I tried create_shop or build_shop, neither in the browser nor the rails console.

Hi Everyone, Ran into an interesting case last night, and I was hoping that someone on the list here could give me some guidance. I''ve got a Polymorphic association for Addresses (which can belong to two different models). The catch is, one model requires a strict, precise address, and the other only requires a City, State and Postal Code. I want to use :validates_presence_of :street,

I''m new to rspec and looking for way to test a validation I added to a model. The test checks to see that if field1 has a value then field2 must be nil and vice versa. ------------------------------- When I did the rspec_scaffold it generated one test which worked before :each do @valid_attributes = { :field1 = "value for field1" :field2 = "value for

I am new to rails and have been scouring the web for the past two days trying to figure out 2 things. 1) I am currently using a form with 2 models. The first is person, the second is address.

Hi there, I''m still trying to wrap my head around when to use a stub and a mock. If I understand this right, I should be using a ''mock'' when imitating an object, but not its behavior.
