similar to: validates_associated -- explicitly setting collection?

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. Everything works fine on new/create, but it fails on edit/update. 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

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

All, I really dig using validates_associated on my models to automatically validate their associated objects. However, I find that I would prefer that the associated object''s error messages were propagated up to the original (object on which validate was called) object as they are, instead of the original object showing "X is invalid" where X is one of the associated objects.

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

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

Here is the setup: Windows XP, InstantRails, MySQL 14.7, Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1.2 MODEL: class Office<ActiveRecord::Base has_many :users end class User<ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :office validates_presence_of :office_id validates_associated :office <....other stuff...> end UNIT_TEST test/unit/user_test.rb def test_associations u = User.new u.office_id =

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

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

I''m trying to validate a User model object that belongs_to a company class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :company validates_associated :company, :message=>"Company can not be blank" end Now, if my Company class has the following: validates_presence_of :name shouldn''t that result in the error message beign added to the error messages for the user??

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

Hello all I''m having an issue with ruby on rails, and it not throwing an error where it should.

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,

I submitted this as a bug here: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=18799&group_id=4187&atid=16130 However, I just realized that I probably should have posted here first. Has anyone else had a similar experiance with queries that don''t return results? I have the following FQL Query: "SELECT uid FROM user WHERE has_added_app = 1 AND uid IN (SELECT

Hi, I''m struggling to get the validates_associated to work as I think it should be.
