My main issue with "validates" is that it's easy to mix up with "validate" (http://apidock.com/rails/v3.2.8/ActiveModel/Validations/ClassMethods/validate). If you accidentally do "validate :title, presence: true", it will effectively do nothing, and won't explode - it will call the "title" method and expect that method to add validation errors, and "presence: true" just becomes an ignored option. Tests will catch this, of course, but it's still an easy mistake to make. I'm not sure what would be a good solution, though. Maybe complaining about unknown options? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
