Rails client side validation does not work on simple form association

I have a model User

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates :goal, :presence => true, :on => :update
  belongs_to :goal, :class_name => Goal, :foreign_key => "goal_id"
  ...
end

and on the form i have

<%= simple_form_for @users,:remote => true, :url => registration_path(resource_name), :html => { :method => :put, :multipart => true }, :validate => true do |f| %>
 <%= f.association :goal,:label => "My overall goal is clearing", :input_html => {:class => 'goals'},:include_blank => true %>

But the rails client side validation does not pick up the validation on the association, it lets me fill in blank for goal.

Does rails client side validation gem work for simple form association?

I am getting the below script on my html page

if (window.ClientSideValidations == undefined) window.ClientSideValidations = {};
if (window.ClientSideValidations.forms == undefined) window.ClientSideValidations.forms = {};
window.ClientSideValidations.forms['edit_user_14'] = {
    "type": "SimpleForm::FormBuilder",
    "error_class": "error",
    "error_tag": "span",
    "wrapper_error_class": "field_with_errors",
    "wrapper_tag": "div",
    "wrapper_class": "input",
    "wrapper": "default",
    "validators": {
        "user[mobile_number]": {
            "format": [{
                "message": "should be 10 digits",
                "with": /^\d{10}$/i
            }]
        },
        "user[profile_pic]": {
            "integrity": [{
                "message": "translation missing: en.activerecord.errors.models.user.attributes.profile_pic.integrity"
            }],
            "processing": [{
                "message": "translation missing: en.activerecord.errors.models.user.attributes.profile_pic.processing"
            }],
            "download": [{
                "message": "translation missing: en.activerecord.errors.models.user.attributes.profile_pic.download"
            }],
            "format": [{
                "message": "Wrong file format",
                "with": /\.(gif|jpeg|jpg|png)$/i,
                "allow_blank": true
            }]
        }
    }
};

The key distinction here is using validates :goal_id ... not validates :goal ...

Since this is an association, the real property on your ActiveRecord model (and in the underlying data store) is goal_id. That's what client_side_validations is looking for by default.

Looks like ClientSideLavodation gem can't find proper validation for association so just add 

validates :goal_id, :presence => true, :on => :update

to your model.
