BrokenRecord

Provides a rake task for scanning your ActiveRecord models and detecting validation errors.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'broken_record'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install broken_record

Usage

To scan all records of all models in your project:

rake broken_record:scan

If you want to scan all records of a specific model (e.g. the User model):

rake broken_record:scan[User]

You can also specify a list of models to scan:

rake broken_record:scan[Product,User]

Configuration

BrokenRecord provides a configure method with multiple options. Here's an example:

BrokenRecord.configure do |config|
    # Skip the Foo and Bar models when scanning.
    config.classes_to_skip = [Foo, Bar]

    # Set a scope for which models should be validated
    config.default_scopes = { Foo => proc { with_bars } }

    # The follow block will be called before scanning your records.
    # This is useful for skipping validations you want to ignore.
    config.before_scan do
        User.skip_callback :validate, :before, :user_must_be_active
    end

	# BrokenRecord uses the parallelize gem to distribute work across
	# multiple cores. The following block will be called every time
	# the process is forked (useful for re-establishing connections).
	config.after_fork do
      Rails.cache.reconnect if Rails.cache.respond_to? :reconnect
    end
end
