validate_on_create and validate_on_update no longer seem to exist

Reported by Pascal Rettig | February 6th, 2010 @ 04:26 PM

ActiveRecord::Base class methods validate_on_create and validate_on_update no longer seem to exist:

$ rails test_app
$ cd test_app
$ rails migration model TestModel
$ rake db:migrate
$ vi app/models/test_model.rb

    class TestModel < ActiveRecord::Base
        validate_on_create :create_validation

        def create_validation
           # Dummy validation
        end
    end

$ rails console

Not sure if they are supposed to exist anymore, but the rdoc documentation still refers to them:

(From gem server) http://localhost:8808/doc_root/activemodel-3.0.0.beta/rdoc/ActiveMo...

"This usage applies to validate_on_create and +validate_on_update as well+. "
