Having trouble with Validatable

I need to use the level option for my app, so I did 'gem install validatable'

Next I got an error when it tried to run, so after some searching, 'require 'validatable' in environment.rb

Now it says 'Unknown key(s): level' when a view tries to render a partial from that model..

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base   include Validatable   belongs_to :household

  validates_numericality_of :month_int, :level => 1   validates_numericality_of :day_int, :level => 1   validates_numericality_of :year_int, :level => 1   validates_presence_of :sex, :m, :d, :y   validates_length_of :sex, :is => 1   validates_date :birthday, :after => Date.new(1900, 1, 1), :before => Proc.new { 1.day.from_now.to_date }, :before_message => 'Ensure it is before %s', :after_message => 'Ensure it is after %s', :level => 2   before_validation do   # debugger     self.month_int = self.m.to_i     self.day_int = self.d.to_i     self.year_int = self.y.to_i   end   after_validation do     debugger     self.birthday = Date.new(self.year_int, self.month_int, self.day_int)   end end

Please help..

Hi,       You just add include Validatable in your model after installing validatable gem. level option will work with active record validation. For more information refer this url - http://validatable.rubyforge.org/

I think that's what I did. I know the gem is running because I had validates_numericality using minimum and maximum, which broke as soon as I installed the gem. Validatable doesn't have those options. The include is on line 2 of the model.

Can you isolate which validation is causing the issue ? just looking at the docs for validatable, looks like it might not have a validates_date method - you're picking up the Active Record validates_date which of course doesn't expect a :level option
