similar to: adding to errors in controller?

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.

The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

I know that usually when people say ''i think i found a bug in rails/ruby'' they''ve done something dumb. I''m wondering if this is the case here, but this does seem like a genuine rails bug to me. In my user model i have a few different before_create callbacks. In one of them, if it happens to return false (just because the last statement in it evaluated to

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how

What are the limitations on using: errors.add_to_base to display errors in views? I have tried for days to add errors from my object.rb and they never get displayed. class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of(:name, :message => "Name is required.") validates_uniqueness_of(:name, :message => "This name is already in use.

Greetings - I''m trying to find the most efficient, "Rails" way to solve the following problem. It''s in two parts, but I think the solution is somewhat related: I have Recipe and Category model related by HABTM. I would like to 1.) Validate the *number* of categories associated with a recipe, say a minimum of 1 and a max of 3. (So validates_associated will not

All, I am attempting to do some custom validation on my object. Here is my validate method: protected def validate puts "Do I have the target_list_ids method? " + self.methods.include?(''target_list_ids'').to_s if target_list_ids.nil? || target_list_ids.length == 0 errors.add_to_base("You must choose at least one target list for this job")

This is probably a Ruby questions but since my issue exists in a Rails validation I thought I''d post here. I have the following validator validates_each :thumbnail, :regular do |record, attribute, value| unless value.nil? && value.valid? record.errors.add( attribute,

Good morning, I''m new to rails and am having some basic questions in development. See if anyone can help me with a test problem. I need to test if my model "Procedure" is linked to the workflow.

I''m following instructions in the Agile book, page 146 for testing an object update to the database.

validates_presence_of :fname results in the error message "Fname can''t be blank". What I want is "First Name can''t be blank". I could do this def validate errors.add_to_base("First Name can''t be blank") if fname.blank? end I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method.
