# Skip Validations When Creating A Record
|
|
|
|
Validations on your
|
|
[ActiveRecord](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html)
|
|
models are there for a reason. They provide application-level feedback about
|
|
data that doesn't meet business requirements. In many cases those validations
|
|
should also be pushed down to the database-layer in the form of constraints.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, though rarely and probably only in a testing or development context,
|
|
you'll want to skip validations.
|
|
|
|
This is how you can do that when creating a new record:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
user = User.new(
|
|
name: 'Josh',
|
|
email: '',
|
|
password: SecureRandom.uuid
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
user.valid?
|
|
#=> false
|
|
user.errors.messages
|
|
#=> {:email=>["can't be blank"]}
|
|
|
|
user.save(validate: false)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After newing-up an object with invalid data, you can [save it with the
|
|
`validate` option set to
|
|
`false`](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Persistence.html#method-i-save).
|
|
This will skip ActiveRecord validations.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you also have a database-layer constraint, this won't work. Perhaps
|
|
for your use case you can get by with a new non-persisted record.
