Why is this validates_inclusion_of integer within range failing?

I am trying to validate on the model that my salary attr, an integer value, fits within a range, despite the value indeed fitting within that range, it fails with salary: ["is not included in the list"], any ideas what I'm missing:

model.rb

validates_inclusion_of :salary, :in => [1000..1000000]

passing specs:

it { should validate_presence_of(:salary) }
it { should_not allow_value(100).for(:salary) }
it { should_not allow_value(10000000).for(:salary) }

failing spec:

it { should allow_value(900000).for(:salary) }

900000 is within 1000..1000000 so any ideas why this still fails?

Thanks

Solution

  • You are providing a range as the only valid value for the salary, which is not what you want. Using the following will do:

    validates_inclusion_of :salary, :in => 1000..1000000
