Do rails model validations take priority?

In a model I have the following validations: 

validates_presence_of :company_name, :message => "Must have a company name"
validates_uniqueness_of :company_name, :message => "Does this company exist? As this company name isn't unique."

Does this mean that it will check for the presence of the company name before its uniqueness?

Yes, the check will be done sequentially

You can check it with:

if obj.errors.on(:company_name)
    errMsg << obj.errors.on(:company_name)[0]
end

From the rails guide: "validations will be run in the same order as they were registered."

Yes it will check presence first. It runs validations sequentially
