Validations not working?

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m having some serious problems with my validations. I have a mongoid
model
set up with validations, which looks like this:

class Apartment
include Mongoid::Document
include Mongoid::Timestamps
validates :price, :numericality => { :greater_than => 0, :allow_blank
=>
false }
field :price, :type => Integer
end

But then when I actually try to run the validations, they pass and claim
the
object is valid, even if I pass complete garbage. Here’s the output:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :006 > Apartment.validators_on(:price)
=> [#<ActiveModel::Validations::NumericalityValidator:0x00000102924cc8
@attributes=[:price], @options={:only_integer=>false, :allow_nil=>false,
:greater_than=>0, :allow_blank=>false}>]
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :007 > a = Apartment.new(:price =>
“G@I$G@GR#&GUGshkj4h53$$$@^")
=> #<Apartment _id: 4e1d66f835be35fddb000002, _type: nil, created_at:
nil,
updated_at: nil, address: nil, price: "G@I$G@GR#&GUGshkj4h53$$$@^”>
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :008 > a.valid?
=> true

I’ve tried disabling gems, commenting out and then re-adding validations
one
by one, but nothing seems to work. If you have any fresh direction on
how to
track this down, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Yes, the price is random junk that’s clearly supposed to fail
validation,
but it passes with no errors.

I just tried it with the validations after the field definitions; still
the
same problem.

Hi,

that price looks like random stuff. Is it relevant that you call the
validator before the field-definition?

Right, but even so, it should fail. When I try pasting my Apartment
model
into a fresh Rails app, it does:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 > a = Apartment.new(:price => “G@I$G@GR
#&GUGshkj4h53$$$@^")
=> #<Apartment _id: 4e1d74fa35be3560e8000001, _type: nil, created_at:
nil,
updated_at: nil,price: "G@I$G@GR#&GUGshkj4h53$$$@^”>
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :002 > a.valid?
=> false

I compared the Gemfiles of both apps, and they’re identical… This is
very
strange…

Hi Avishai,

i just tried this:

irb(main):001:0> “G@I$G@GR#&GUGshkj4h53$$$*@^”.to_i
=> 0

As I don’t know how the conversion would work, but if it works like that
it
will return 0. But it still should not be valid.Hmmm.
