I've found that: validates_presence_of :user_id validates_presence_of :user works just fine. >From what I have been able to tell, validates_associated is meant for when you are constructing two or more associated models at the same time, and you don't want to save them unless both validate. So your user validates would contain: validates_associated :address which would run all the validations for the address model. However, you can't at the same time have a validates_associated :user line in the address model, because that will cause an infinite recursion loop of validations. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
