Validations of acceptance not working
Reported by Alexey Poimtsev | August 30th, 2010 @ 08:33 PM
Hi,
i have model like
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me
attr_accessor :terms
validates :username,
:presence => true,
:format => { :with => /\A[a-z0-9\-]+\z/i },
:uniqueness => true,
:length => 3..20
validates :email,
:presence => true,
:format => { :with => /^([\w\.%\+\-]+)@([\w\-]+\.)+([\w]{2,})$/i },
:uniqueness => true
validates :password,
:presence => true,
:confirmation => true,
:length => 6..20
validates :terms,
:acceptance => true
end
Everything is ok, but validation of :terms does not working.

- Importance changed from to Low
by default nil is allowed. You need to do
validates :terms, :acceptance => true, :allow_nil => false
I do agree that :allow_nil should be 'false' be default. That would make more sense. I will talk to rails core team member and if agree will change the default value.

- State changed from new to invalid
:allow_nil should be true. Because it allows you to create users through the console/tests without having to specify :terms => true, so it is a convenience.
This won't be a problem in your views, because once you do: f.checkbox :terms, it will never be nil because it would already default to false.
