So i'm trying to override save_with_validation in activerecord validations.rb and i'm running in to problems with alias_chain method.
module ActiveRecord module Validations def save_with_validation(perform_validation = true) if perform_validation && valid? || !perform_validation save_without_validation else false end end end
Base.class_eval do include Validations end end
Error. (loop)

Whats happening is that my save_with_validation is called when i call .save then because of the alias chain method its called the save_with_validation in validation.rb as save_without_validation.
So I found dirty.rb is also alias_method_chain ing save so I tried this
Base.class_eval do include Validations include Dirty end
think this would re-alias those methods and it did something where my error is now different:
SystemStackError: stack level too deep from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb:43:in `number?' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/dirty.rb:154:in `field_changed?' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/dirty.rb:132:in `write_attribute_without_dirty' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/dirty.rb:139:in `write_attribute' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods.rb:211:in `bln=' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:2740:in `send' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:2740:in `attributes=' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:2736:in `each' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:2736:in `attributes=' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:2434:in `initialize' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:721:in `new' from /Users/Kevin/Desktop/light/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:721:in `create' from (irb):1
what i want to do is grab the data passed in from save like this object.save(:test) I want to grab that :test my code works when I put it right in the rails files but not in plugin as i have to override stuff.
can anyone help?
