Validation not working

So first I had this class:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :name


end

and was able to create and save users in ruby sandbox.

Then I added validation like this:

validates(:name, presence: true)

saved my changes, went back to console, and said this:

>> user = User.new(name: "", email: "[email protected]")
>> user.save

It should return FALSE because name is blank. But it returned true. Why? Maybe I should restart the sandbox console?

Try doing:

reload!

in the console.

This will reload your models and should pick up the new validation. This makes it unnecessary to restart the console. I use this like a bajillion times a day. :D

Yes never mind. I restarted the sandbox console and now validation is working correctly.
