This is really a Rails or ActiveRecord question rather than RSpec. In any case. validate :custom_validation will run the custom_validation method whether the model is being created or updated. validate_on_create :custom_validation will only run the custom_validation method when the method is being created. There's also a validate_on_update method which will run the custom validation method when the model is being updated but not when it is created. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations_callbacks.html#creating-custom-validation-methods -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Github: http://github.com/rubyredrick Twitter: @RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
