And the test to check format as
setup do @role = Factory(:role) #gives :name=>‘role1’ description =>
‘testdescript’
end
should “validate format of role name” do
assert_valid(@org_role)
end
But when running test get error
test: role should have correct name format. (RoleTest):
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Role name is invalid
But when I comment validates_format_of above everything work ok I cant
figure out where the error is Actually I need role name should not
contain any commas Please help

Sijo, what is the correct format for a name? In any case, your regular
expression
says that the format for the name should be a comma. Thus, you might
want
to
rework your regular expression so that it supports the correct naming
format.

No, it says that the name should contain a comma (although your
brackets are superfluous).
validates_format_of :name, :with => /[,]/
is saying that the name should have the pattern, ‘,’. The definition
of ‘validates_format_of’ has the following documentation:
Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is of the
correct form by matching it against the regular expression provided.
His initial regular express had the correct syntax and there wasn’t a
problem with
the brackets. However, he wasn’t using the correct regular expression
for the type
of names that he wanted to store in his name field.

However, it may be better from a usability perspective to not have this
validation – instead, just remove the commas from the user’s input.
