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

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

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

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 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

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

Hi, I''m struggling to get the validates_associated to work as I think it should be. I''m using: JRuby 1.1 rails-2.0.2 activerecord-2.0.2 activerecord-jdbc-adapter-0.8.2 My tables in MySQL: CREATE TABLE area_codes ( id INT UNSIGNED auto_increment primary key ... ); CREATE TABLE markets ( id INT UNSIGNED auto_increment primary key, ... ); CREATE TABLE

Hello all I''m having an issue with ruby on rails, and it not throwing an error where it should. I have a class ''clientpool'' that is: class Clientpool < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "clientpool" set_primary_key "id" belongs_to :clients, :foreign_key => "cliname" validates_presence_of :cliname validates_associated :client end

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

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 =

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)

After a fresh installation of an application, some utility scripts run with script/runner quietly aborted right after their start. No error message whatsoever, just a new shell prompt. The reason was an uninstalled dependecy, but that was difficult to determine because the load failure was not reported: % ruby script/runner ''require "foobarbaz"'' % Why

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

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

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.

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.

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
