Email validation broken? about authlogic

[grimen]

You need to specify more info than that. Most probably something you're doing wrong, and not an issue with Authlogic. Without you specifying some debugging info, it's not possible to find out right. I would suggest the Google Group instead of filing issues if it's just a question you have.

Hi P, like grimen said, I really can't determine what the issue is with the information you provided. I can say there are multiple test in place for email validation ensuring that valid emails pass, and all of my tests are passing. So I'm guessing it has something to do with another plugin or gem you have. Maybe you made a change in your model and didn't realize it? If you continue to have problems check out google group and I'll help you there.

hi!

I probably just did something silly - I'll try again by following the Railscast :)

Thanks,

I encountered the same problem too. As to other folks on google groups - and there's no straight solution. A bummer to get so close - since authlogic is recommended for beginners - it's really frustrating to not get anywhere close and seeing other people with similar problem but no solution.

Hi, Getting the same problem myself. Funny thing is, I got this working fine on my PC at work. When I did, I uploaded the project to github. I have just now pulled the project down to my laptop, installed the authlogic gem 2.1.3 ran a rake db create and then a db migrate and am now encountering this error when I attempt to register a new user.

So, the code is the same on both machines but it works on one but not the other.
Can someone think of a reason as to why this could be?

Ok I have clocked what is going here. In case anyone else comes upon the same issue, it is since the migration to the 'add_users_password_reset_fields" database. This in turn created an 'email' column and made it an indexed field, thus no nulls allowed. so, when registering a user (with no email field present) I am getting the errors mentioned.

So, to get around this I simply added the following to the \app\views\users\ _form.erb

<%= form.label :email %>

<%= form.text_field :email %>
