The validation is not "called". a line like the following:
validates_numericality_of :whatever is positioned directly in the class, not inside a class method. therefore, this method is run when the class is loaded by the application (which is on application startup,). Normal ruby beahviour for methods called directly in a classes body. As in development mode, classes are reloaded again on each request (well, actually lazy-loaded since 2.3, so only loaded when the app actually uses them), this code gets run everytime the Model is used in any way. However, the above line doesn't actually run the validation, it CREATES/ASSIGNS the validation, which in turn isn't run until the instance gets validated. so your debugger breakpoint is simply in the wrong place. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
