validates_presence_of with validates_each dont work together

Hi there how do I make validates_presence_of and validates each work? here is my code

I forgot to mention I saw the :allow_nil option in the api docs but I dont know how to use it in my case

You could add an if statement to the top of your validates_each block as such to emulate what validates_presence_of does eg:

validates_each :quantity do |model, attr, value|   if value.blank?     model.errors.add(attr, "can't be blank")

  elsif value < User.find(:first, :conditions => ['id = ?', record.user_id]).minimumbottles     ...   end end
