active_record_validation_warnings.rb
module ActiveRecord
# This override allows for validation methods to provide warnings on attributes, as well as errors. Use this
# to provide friendly warnings to your users when your business rules change, prior to turning on the new validations
# and preventing your customers from saving records before they have a chance to change their system.
#
# Every AR object will now have 2 collections +record.errors+ and +record.warnings+.
#
# To set warnings, just add the +:level => :warning+ option to any validation method.
#
# validates_presence_of :phone_number, :level => :warning
#
# If phone_number is blank, it will now be stuffed into the warnings collection, instead of the errors collection.
# The record will still be saved as long as the errors collection is empty, regardless of what is in the warnings
# collection.
#
# To add this functionality to your app, just save this code in a file in your lib directory, and require it in an initializer or
# environment.rb.
#
# This code basically is a rewrite of the validations.rb file in active_record, so it's only compatible with Rails 2.x, and may need to
# change with future version of Rails. It was written agains Rails 2.3.2
#
# This code was based on code written by Michael Schuerig. https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/107-level-hooks-for-validations

# Returns the Warnings object that holds all information about attribute warning messages.

# Active Record validation is reported to and from this object, which is used by Base#save to
# determine whether the object would fail validations and prevent a save if the :level => warning flag were removed.

# Active Record classes can implement validations in several ways. The highest level, easiest to read,
# and recommended approach is to use the declarative <tt>validates_..._of</tt> class methods (and
# +validates_associated+) documented below. These are sufficient for most model validations.
#
# Slightly lower level is +validates_each+. It provides some of the same options as the purely declarative
# validation methods, but like all the lower-level approaches it requires manually adding to the errors collection
# when the record is invalid.
#
# At a yet lower level, a model can use the class methods +validate+, +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+
# to add validation methods or blocks. These are ActiveSupport::Callbacks and follow the same rules of inheritance
# and chaining.
#
# The lowest level style is to define the instance methods +validate+, +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+
# as documented in ActiveRecord::Validations.
#
# == +validate+, +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+ Class Methods
#
# Calls to these methods add a validation method or block to the class. Again, this approach is recommended
# only when the higher-level methods documented below (<tt>validates_..._of</tt> and +validates_associated+) are
# insufficient to handle the required validation.
#
# This can be done with a symbol pointing to a method:
#
# class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
# validate :must_be_friends
#
# def must_be_friends
# errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee)
# end
# end
#
# Or with a block which is passed the current record to be validated:
#
# class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
# validate do |comment|
# comment.must_be_friends
# end
#
# def must_be_friends
# errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee)
# end
# end
#
# This usage applies to +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+ as well.

# Encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate a password or email address field with a confirmation. Example:

# Model:
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

# validates_confirmation_of :email_address, :message => "should match confirmation"

#
# View:

#
# The added +password_confirmation+ attribute is virtual; it exists only as an in-memory attribute for validating the password.
# To achieve this, the validation adds accessors to the model for the confirmation attribute. NOTE: This check is performed
# only if +password_confirmation+ is not +nil+, and by default only on save. To require confirmation, make sure to add a presence
# check for the confirmation attribute:
#
# validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_changed?

# Configuration options:
# * <tt>:message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "doesn't match confirmation").
# * <tt>:on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active (default is <tt>:save</tt>, other options <tt>:create</tt>, <tt>:update</tt>).
# * <tt>:if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
# occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>). The
# method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
# * <tt>:unless</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should

#
# If the database column does not exist, the +terms_of_service+ attribute is entirely virtual. This check is

# * <tt>:on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active (default is <tt>:save</tt>, other options <tt>:create</tt>, <tt>:update</tt>).
# * <tt>:allow_nil</tt> - Skip validation if attribute is +nil+ (default is true).
# * <tt>:accept</tt> - Specifies value that is considered accepted. The default value is a string "1", which
# makes it easy to relate to an HTML checkbox. This should be set to +true+ if you are validating a database
# column, since the attribute is typecast from "1" to +true+ before validation.
# * <tt>:if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
# occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>). The
# method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.

# * <tt>:message</tt> - Specifies a custom error message (default is: "has already been taken").

#
# === Concurrency and integrity
#
# Using this validation method in conjunction with ActiveRecord::Base#save
# does not guarantee the absence of duplicate record insertions, because
# uniqueness checks on the application level are inherently prone to race
# conditions. For example, suppose that two users try to post a Comment at
# the same time, and a Comment's title must be unique. At the database-level,
# the actions performed by these users could be interleaved in the following manner:
#
# User 1 | User 2
# ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
# # User 1 checks whether there's |
# # already a comment with the title |
# # 'My Post'. This is not the case. |
# SELECT * FROM comments |
# WHERE title = 'My Post' |
# |
# | # User 2 does the same thing and also
# | # infers that his title is unique.
# | SELECT * FROM comments
# | WHERE title = 'My Post'
# |
# # User 1 inserts his comment. |
# INSERT INTO comments |
# (title, content) VALUES |
# ('My Post', 'hi!') |
# |
# | # User 2 does the same thing.
# | INSERT INTO comments
# | (title, content) VALUES
# | ('My Post', 'hello!')
# |
# | # ^^^^^^
# | # Boom! We now have a duplicate
# | # title!
#
# This could even happen if you use transactions with the 'serializable'
# isolation level. There are several ways to get around this problem:
# - By locking the database table before validating, and unlocking it after
# saving. However, table locking is very expensive, and thus not
# recommended.
# - By locking a lock file before validating, and unlocking it after saving.
# This does not work if you've scaled your Rails application across
# multiple web servers (because they cannot share lock files, or cannot
# do that efficiently), and thus not recommended.
# - Creating a unique index on the field, by using
# ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#add_index. In the
# rare case that a race condition occurs, the database will guarantee
# the field's uniqueness.
#
# When the database catches such a duplicate insertion,
# ActiveRecord::Base#save will raise an ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
# exception. You can either choose to let this error propagate (which
# will result in the default Rails exception page being shown), or you
# can catch it and restart the transaction (e.g. by telling the user
# that the title already exists, and asking him to re-enter the title).
# This technique is also known as optimistic concurrency control:
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimistic_concurrency_control
#
# Active Record currently provides no way to distinguish unique
# index constraint errors from other types of database errors, so you
# will have to parse the (database-specific) exception message to detect
