Added STI and it's messed with my validates_uniqueness. I was hoping a validate_uniqueness in the base class would validate a field regardless of the derived classes....but it seems not to be.
Any ideas how I can enforce the below uniqueness across all inherited classes? validate_uniqueness_of :xyz_id , :scope => "user_id"
This is an as yet unfixed problem with Active Record
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3833 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5303
The quick fix I use is to change the following line
1.2.3: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/tags/rel_1-2-3/activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb#L551 Trunk: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb#L613
removing "record.class", leaving a plain find.
