every have this problem?

[Terry Lorber]

My model's save and valid? return false, but the errors array is
empty.

Anyone?

Do you have a before_save (or similar) callback that's returning
false? That's usually the cause for me in those situations.

Wow, thanks.

It was actually a before_validation call that did not return true.
That wasted 2 hours....

Thanks again,
Terry

Yeah, I've wasted a few hours on this problem, twice (it was quite a
while between the two, hence why I forgot. Never again! ;)

Terry,

   I believe the callback just must not evaluate to false in order to pass through. (maybe nil as well, not certain)

Anybody else really hate that about callbacks?

I mean really... I've never had a reason for a before_save or
after_save or before_filter to return false.

I'm either going to render or redirect_to in a before_filter... that
should stop the chain. But everywhere else, I always want the
callback chain to continue.

Like I'll have a model with one after_save defined, that just so
happens to return false sometimes because of whatever it's doing, and
I don't even notice because I'm not thinking about what it returns.
And then a month later I add another after_save to the same model and
am baffled about why it's not running.
