In a Model, what is the "best practice" for requiring a value

I'm in a find routine, and I don't want to perform the search if one of the arguments is nil. What is the recommendation from the group?

I started to use "assert_not_nil" but that is not defined in my Model chain.

Thanks, Jason

return unless myvalue

How about:

return unless arguments.all?

'arguments.all?' will return true if and only if none of the collection members is false or nil.

If an argument can be false, you could do this:

return unless arguments.all? { |arg| !arg.nil? }

Hello Jason,

Thanks guys, you hit both questions (fail loudly and fail silently)...
