Database_сonsistency Gem Does Not Detect Some Validations

[eternalyoung]

When running the database_consistency gem in my project, it indicates the absence of validations for certain fields in my model, even though I'm sure they are present. After debugging the gem, I discovered that at the time of validation checking, the model indeed lacks validations.

# RAILS CONSOLE
3.1.2 :001 > Relationship.validators
 => 
[#<ActiveRecord::Validations::PresenceValidator:0x00000001113ea3e8
  @attributes=[:descendant],
  @options={:message=>:required}>,
 #<ActiveRecord::Validations::PresenceValidator:0x000000011150b628
  @attributes=[:ancestor],
  @options={:message=>:required}>,
 #<ActiveRecord::Validations::PresenceValidator:0x00000001115083b0
  @attributes=[:ancestor_id, :descendant_id, :generations],
  @options={}>,
 #<ActiveRecord::Validations::UniquenessValidator:0x0000000111502870
  @attributes=[:ancestor_id],
  @klass=Relationship (call 'Relationship.connection' to establish a connection),
  @options={:scope=>[:descendant_id, :generations]}>] 

# IRB AT VALIDATIONS CHECK IN GEM

 => Relationship(ancestor_id: integer, descendant_id: integer, generations: integer, created_at: datetime, id: integer)

  @options={:message=>:required}>,                                           
 #<ActiveRecord::Validations::PresenceValidator:0x000000010adf36c0

This issue occurs when adding some code to a controller that is unrelated to this model. It's a very strange behavior that I'm encountering for the first time.

This issue occurs when adding some code to a controller that is unrelated to this model.

It could be that lazy loading all your constants don't help load all your code.

Could you please check how those missing validations are defined?

There are two options to improve this:

• you write your custom database_consistency runner according to the guideline
• we investigate it further and try to commit a general improvement for everybody

P.S. Happy Christmas and New Year time!

You nailed it. If you use a custom runner with loading like Dir[Rails.root.join("app/**/*.rb")].each { require _1 }, everything works correctly.

If you need any additional information to fix this issue, please feel free to ask.
