Hi Nicholas, Thanks for your response. What I meant was that validation should not compare the object that is being updated against its own existing copy. For example, I am editting an existing object:
[:aspect => "Aspect-A", :user_id => 5, :third_field => "morning"]. Now, the object is unique in the database according to validates_uniqueness_of :aspect, :scope => :user_id That's all good. However, when I update the object with the following statements: self.third_field = "night" save! Rails returns an error: ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Aspect has already been taken Why? I am just trying to update an existing object, not create a new one that would violate the uniqueness validation. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
