Jeffrey: Thank you. I tried that but it still didn't work. So I have this
class Stat < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user validates_presence_of :user_id validates_associated :user The user table is empty. I then create a stat with user_id = 99, which does not exist in the user table. No error is produced: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2) >> stat = Stat.new(:user_id => 99) => #<Stat id: nil, user_id: 99, ...> >> stat.save! => true >> A new record with user_id = 99 was created in the database although the associated user does not exist. Perhaps this validation only validates the associated user when that user exists. See API: http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveModel/Validations/ClassMethods/validates_associated Did I read it right?
