Validate method called 2 times when saving

Rails
1

Hello,

when I call the save! method in one of my model objects, the validate
method in that same object is called 2 times. Why is this? It doesn’t
happen when I call save (instead of save!), and looking at the source
code of these Rails methods, I don’t understand how ‘validate’ can be
called 2 times when invoking save! and only 1 time when invoking save,
as the code for save! is simply…

save || raise(RecordNotSaved)

Do you know what’s happening here?

Because both save and save! validate, and save! calls save.

save! validates once in 1.2.
