validates_confirmation_of not working

Hello to everyone,

Well, very frustrated with this one because I am following
the example
straight from the documentation and it is not working.

First when I try:

 validates_confirmation_of :password, :on =>
:password_update
(password_update is a def in my User model which works fine
without
this validation in please)

I get the following error:

TypeError in UsersController#update_password
nil is not a symbol

[Full trace at the end of this message.]

However, if I do only this:

validates_confirmation_of :password

It jumps over the validation because no matter what I put in
the
password and password_confirmation fields, changes are
always saved.

Any advice, greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

GPB

You can't do that. :on must be one of :save, :create or
:update

Hello again...

I will answer my first question.

I thought the :on option could take any def from the
controller and
apply the validation only when that action was called. But
now I see
it only takes :save, :create and :update.

However, even when putting :update as the :on option, it is
still
bypassing the validation even though the data in the fields
are not
equal.

And one correction in my previous post, password_update is a
def in my
controller, not in my model, like I stated previously.

Thanks again,

It's not a controller thing (how would the model know the
action that  
was causing it to be saved), it's a model thing: is the
instance  
being saved for the first time  or all the time

Can't guess without seeing at least some code.

Hi Fred,

I went ahead and coded the validation myself.

However, I think the problem has to do with this, used for
the
encryption of the password.

  def password=(value)
    if !value.blank?
      write_attribute("password",
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(value))
    end
  end

Because I got it to the point that the validation worked,
but it
always returned that the values didn't match.

When I took out the lines for encryption it worked
perfectly. So it
seems it looks to compare the password string encrypted with
the
password_confirmation string not encrypted.

Care to explain how to work around this?

Thank you,

Hi DHH, you are right, it was a type on my part when writing
the post,
anyway Fred already explained I can't do that for the :on
condition.

Either way, thank you.

I think if you do the hashing of the password in a
before_update  
you'll be ok.
