这是模型类         class Item :: Item<的ActiveRecord :: Base的              validates_presence_of:start_date,:end_date,:product_id              validate:validate_start_and_end_date

         def validate_start_and_end_date
             errors.add(:start_date, "should not be in past") if start_date < Date.today
             errors.add(:end_date, "should not be in past") if end_date < Date.today
             errors.add(:base, "start date should not be after end date") if end_date <  start_date
         end

         belongs_to :product, {:class_name => 'Item::Product'}

   end 

这是rails console的日志

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

它抱怨,因为在进入自定义验证时尚未设置start_date和end_date属性。当它试图将start_date与今天的日期进行比较时,它试图比较一个零值。

您可以将验证包装在条件块中:

if !start_date.nil? && !end_date.nil?
  ...
end

请注意,您在控制台中创建的Item对象包含start_date的{​​{1}},end_date等。

然后,验证方法中nil的比较导致异常。
