My first plugin => my first Stack level too deep

Hello,

I’ve just created my first plugin, is really a simple one, and it has
only one validation, special for a spanish bank account.

As I need it in more than one RoR, I’ve decided to create as a plugin,
but now I’m having Stack level too deep every time I save a record, no
matter if this validation is from the same model or not, always Stack
level too deep.

If I remove the plugin, everything works as expected.

I’m totally newbie for plugin creation, I found some examples on
internet and tried to follow/adapt them …

Any blog, wiki, or how-to about plugin creation would be wellcome

thanks,

r.

Here are the files:

Vendor/plugins/cc_validator/init.rb:

Include hook code here

ActiveRecord::Validations::ClassMethods.send :include, CcValidator
ActiveRecord::Base.class_eval do
include ActiveRecord::Validations
end

Vendor/plugins/cc_validator/lib/cc_validator.rb

CcValidator

module CcValidator

Checks if an ActiveRecord property is a valid Spanish bank account

number.
def validates_cc_of(*attrs)
configuration = { :message =>
ActiveRecord::Errors.default_error_messages[:invalid], :on => :save,
:with => nil }
configuration.update(attrs.pop) if attrs.last.is_a?(Hash)

validates_each(attrs, configuration) do |record, attr_name, value|
  record.errors.add(attr_name, configuration[:message]) unless

cc(value) == 0
end
end

private

Calculates the CC of a Spanish bank account number.

Return value should be 0 (cc succeeded). Any other value means

faillure.

def cc(account)

...

end

end

Ok, first we’ll need the exception backtrace to be sure about where
this code is breaking, but you can start by changing your plugin a
little bit:

Vendor/plugins/cc_validator/init.rb:

Include hook code here

ActiveRecord::Base.extend CcValidator
