Undefined local variable or method `errors' for Listing:Clas

I have a listing model in which I’m trying to validate a date (2005, 2,
29 - is not a valid date).

def self.validate_date(year, month, day)
unless Date::valid_date?(year.to_i, month.to_i, day.to_i)
errors.add(:start_date, “De startdatum moet geldige datum zijn.”)
end
end

But everytime I call this code I get:

undefined local variable or method `errors’ for Listing:Class

Looking on the internet and in the Rails book errors.add should work and
should raise an error in the view. Anybody any ideas?

Kind regards

Nick

errors is an instance method. Remove the “self.” and
call validate_date on the object you are validating.
