Rails validation required numericality even though

问题:

I'm trying to save a record which doesn't have one field set -- which has a validate numericality in the models. Even though the presence is not required in the validation, it's still throwing an error that the field is not a number.

Validation:

validates :network_id,    :numericality => true

Code to that is saving model:

networks.each do |network|
  network.url = network.raw_data.link
  network.save!
end

Error:

Validation failed: Network is not a number

回答1:

validates :network_id, :numericality => true, :allow_nil => true

回答2:

    validates :network_id, :numericality => {:allow_blank => true}

回答3:

You should use allow_blank

validates :network_id,    :numericality => true, :allow_blank => true

回答4:

In Rails 4 (Ruby 2), you can write:

validates :network_id, numericality: { greater_than_or_equal_to: 0, allow_nil: true }

回答5:

You can also write like this...

validates_numericality_of :network_id, allow_nil: true
