Validate method not getting called?

Rails
1

Here’s a snippet of my model:

validates_presence_of :from_name, :from_email, :reply_name,
:reply_email, :eSubject

protected
def validate
puts “Calling: #{target_list_ids}”
errors.add_to_base(“You must choose at least one target list for
this job”) if self.target_list_ids.nil?
end

It appears that the validates_presence_of are being called just fine,
but my validate method is not. I never see the puts message that I
inserted to prove that it was being called.

Anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks,
Wes

validate was getting called. I just had an overly broad “rescue” clause
in my controller. Sigh.
