enabling validations

[adamwong246]

I noticed that using seed(), validations are skipped. Is there any way to override this? I want my validations to run on seed().

I concur. It's sort of a big deal for us because we are seeding data as a migration process from an old system - so we can find any bad data naturally.

Agree. Just bump into that problem. I cannot use before_validation callbacks to process some properties :(

@svyatov , @DaveSanders @adamwong246 , as a work around I am using this

Another way is to create config/initializers/seed_fu.rb:

# Reason: seed_fu has no validations and there is no option to turn it on.
# But when using seeds on production/stages we want to be sure that generated data are correct.
module SeedFuValidations
  def seed(*args)
    super.each(&:validate!)
  end

  def seed_once(*args)
    super.each(&:validate!)
  end
end

ActiveRecord::Base.extend(SeedFuValidations)

It would be great to set this as switch in configuration :).
