In my User form I have standard field to get user record attributes
(first_name, last_name and email)
I also have a select drop_down to choose a role from an array
first_name, last_name and email are user record attributes, but I
defined the role name as a virtual attribute
validates_presence_of :email, :last_name
attr_accessor :role_name
validates_presence_of :role_name, :if
=> :role_name_required?, :message => ‘must be selected’
when testing with a blank form, I get all errors detected during User
model validation, which is fine…
BUT
ActionView::Base.field_error_proc doesn’t get the role_name error, so
I cannot change the style of the select
I checked it , debugging the proc :
ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance|
debugger
…
I just get the html_tag for email and last_name, never for
role_name …
what’s wrong ?
thanks for your lights …
