Re: [Rails] Re: Re: Logging in Rails

If, in your application you are expecting value_a but it's either nil or you have another value, that could be logger.error (if it's critical to the continuation of the application) or if you can work around it but want to be notified about it to sort it out in the future it could be logger.warn,

[Rails] DB in Non-Standard Place

I don't have your original mail and am not sure of the model but question_id is a foreign key.No? You are checking for the existence of it before it has been created, that is why it's failing, no? validate methods validate the data before its saved. Unless I'm missing something from your original

Re: [Rails] validates_presence_of :parent_id stopping save

Re: [Rails] How can I conditional the validation on a model validation?
