similar to: confusion with validates_inclusion_of

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

Here''s the issue: When I submit a form for updating, @person.update_attributes doesn''t work. But the next nested clause for updating images DOES work. How is that possible? However no matter what I do the Person object will not change its attributes. def edit @person = Person.find(params[:id]) if request.post? @person.update_attributes(params[:person])

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

All, I have a field that I''m validating with validates_numericality_of on as well as validates_inclusion_of, like so: validates_numericality_of :number_of_owners, :only_integer => true, :message => ''must be a whole number'' validates_inclusion_of :number_of_owners, :in => 1..3,

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

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

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

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

Hello guys, I''m trying to validate the input of an integer from a form, here is a bit of code: This is the definition of the offending column in the migration: t.column :position, :integer, :default => 0, :limit => 3, :null => false And here is how I try to validate it inside de model: validates_length_of :position, :within => 1..3 And this is the exception I get when I

Hello, I tried to post this as a bug on the trac site, but whenever I hit submit, I got the error message: --- Precondition Failed The precondition on the request for the URL /newticket evaluated to false. --- Anyway... Let''s say I have the following model classes: --- class Project < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :tasks end class Task < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to

Hey, I''m new, so apologies if I''ve overlooked obvious resources or violated any etiquette rules for this list. Since rails does not support the MySQL enum data type, I''m following David''s advice of using a varchar and storing the valid values in the application: http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/rails/2005-January/001536.html So here''s my

I am just getting started with Rails, don''t know any Ruby, and don''t quite even get object oriented programming yet. I have tweaked my schema to The Rails Way and have generated a bit of scaffolding. I am trying to create a new Part, which references a PartName and a PartNumber. I can create a PartNumber on the fly, but the PartName has to exist. I have an inelegant solution

I think I must be doing something wrong... when a form returns params to the controller, empty fields appear to be returned as blank, not nil. so what''s the point of an :allow_nil=>true setting on a validation? it fails because blank is not the same as nil. i would expect either returned empty fields to be nil, or :allow_nil to really be :allow_blank. otherwise i have to do a search

Hello, I''m currently stunk on this issue for few days and I do not know how to get it fixed. The system always raises this error message : order is closed and here is my order.rb: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base include ActiveMerchant::Billing before_validation :set_status attr_protected :id, :customer_ip, :status, :error_message, :updated_at, :created_at attr_accessor

Q: validates_inclusion_of does it''s validation *only* on save. Why is that the case? Wouldn''t it make more sense to include update as well? As is, I can only create an object with a valid column option, but I can update the column to whatever. Seems a bit odd to me... Any one able to shed some light on this for me? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

In the model I have: validates :square_meters_public_land, :barrier_meters, :numericality => { :greater_than_or_equal_to => 0 }, :allow_nil => true but if, in the field, on create, I don''t insert a value I have the error "field is not a number". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi I''ve got a problem validating a boolean and I can''t see what the problem is. Here''s my model: class FinanceAgreement < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :asset validates_presence_of :finance_company validates_inclusion_of :balance, :in => 0.01..10_000_000 validates_inclusion_of :term, :in => 1..600 validates_numericality_of

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
