I have code similar to this: class Post has_many :comments end
class Comment belongs_to :post validate :must_not_exceed_ten def must_not_exceed_ten errors.add_to_base('Too many comments') unless post.comments.length < 10 end end and in the specs (Rspec + machinist): post = Post.make 9.times { Comment.make(:post => post) } comment = Comment.new(:post => post) comment.save.should be_false The weird thing about it is that it fails sometimes! Especially if I run the whole test suite with rake command (the probability is higher). When I check in the console post indeed has 11 comments. Can somebody give me a reasonable explanation why this is happening? Is this some sort of a race condition that I'm missing? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
