Excess errors on model from somewhere
- by gmile
I have a User model, and use an acts_as_authentic (from authlogic) on it. My User model have 3 validations on username and looks as following:
User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic
validates_presence_of :username
validates_length_of :username, :within => 4..40
validates_uniqueness_of :username
end
I'm writing a test to see my validations in action. Somehow, I get 2 errors instead of one when validating a uniqueness of a name. To see excess error, I do the following test:
describe User do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory.build(:user)
end
it "should have a username longer then 3 symbols" do
@user2 = Factory(:user)
@user.username = @user2.username
@user.save
puts @user.errors.inspect
end
end
I got 2 errors on username: @errors={"username"=>["has already been taken", "has already been taken"]}.
Somehow the validation passes two times. I think authlogic causes that, but I don't have a clue on how to avoid that.
Another case of problem is when I set username to nil. Somehow I get four validation errors instead of three: @errors={"username"=>["is too short (minimum is 3 characters)", "should use only letters, numbers, spaces, and .-_@ please.", "can't be blank", "is too short (minimum is 4 characters)"]}
I think authlogic is one that causes this strange behaviour. But I can't even imagine on how to solve that. Any ideas?
