I was talking with @sgrif about this in this ticket https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/19570.
I think the current validates_length_of is pretty fine expressing thinks like "the username is too long", and the tokenizer is ideal for strings situations but when it comes to arrays, collections, etc is really strange to override the message error and not being able to use some kind of selector. I did this gist to test this out https://gist.github.com/mmontossi/984f8ebfd50ea843b5f2 I was using this validator to thinks like: validates_count_of :photos, within: 1..3, selector: ->(photos) { photos.reject(&:marked_for_destruction?) } This allows to have new errors.messages keys to express quantity: errors.messages.too_many errors.messages.too_few errors.messages.wrong_count Anyone shares this point of view? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
