Hi I'm not sure what would be best practise to treat this case.
Migration: t.boolean :fetched, :null => false, :default => false Model: validates_inclusion_of :fetched, :in => [true, false] Spec: it do article = Article.new(valid_attributes.except(:fetched)) article.should have(1).error_on(:fetched) end Like this the spec will always fail because although fetched is excepted from the hash returned by valid_attributes, it still gets set to false due to the default value. Therefore no error and therefore the spec booms. A solution would be to use this instead: article = Article.new(valid_attributes.with(:fetched => nil)) But that would block refactoring if many attributes are tested for errors.
