Rails custom validation

I have a user signup form that has the usual fields (name, email, password, etc...) and also a \"team_invite_code\" field and a \"role\" popup menu.

Answer 1

Your validate method child_and_team_code_exists should be a private or protected method, otherwise in your case it becomes an instance method

validate :child_and_team_code_exists


private
def child_and_team_code_exists
   errors.add(:team_code, t("user_form.team_code_not_present")) unless
   self.is_child? && Team.scoped_by_code("params[:team_code]").exists?
end
