Just purchased the book RailsSpace (Rough Cut Version) and I am going through the tutorial for the user model. It says to add the code below for email validation to your user model, which I did.
It then tells you to create a username email and password in IRB to test it which i did. But each time it says the email is not a valid email even though i have tried 5 or 6 different emails etc.
Went through the code with a fine toothed comb, tried a couple other regex's i found on google, but to no avail.
Anyone take a look at this for me, and see if they spot anything amiss?
Thanx,
Dave
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Max & min lengths for all fields SCREEN_NAME_MIN_LENGTH = 4 SCREEN_NAME_MAX_LENGTH = 20 PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH = 4 PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH = 40 EMAIL_MAX_LENGTH = 50 SCREEN_NAME_RANGE = SCREEN_NAME_MIN_LENGTH..SCREEN_NAME_MAX_LENGTH PASSWORD_RANGE = PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH..PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH
validates_uniqueness_of :screen_name, :email validates_length_of :screen_name, :within => SCREEN_NAME_RANGE validates_length_of :password, :within => PASSWORD_RANGE validates_length_of :email, :maximum => EMAIL_MAX_LENGTH
validates_format_of :screen_name, :with => /^[A-Z0-9_]*$/i, :message => "must contain only letters, " + "numbers, and underscores" validates_format_of :email, :with => /^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@([A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z] {2,4}$/i, :message => "must be a valid email address"
def validate errors.add(:email, "must be valid.") unless email.include?("@") errors.add(:screen_name, "cannot include spaces.") if screen_name.include?(" ") end end
