validating presence of attribute fails

In my class Foo, I have:

belongs_to :assessment_type
validate :assessment_type, presence: true

My RSpec test has:

  it { is_expected.to validate_presence_of(:assessment_type) }

The test fails with this error:

1) Foo should require assessment_type to be set
 Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to validate_presence_of(:assessment_type) }
   Expected errors to include "can't be blank" when assessment_type is set to nil, got errors: ["can't be blank (attribute: \"name\", value: nil)", "can't be blank (attribute: \"description\", value: nil)", "can't be blank (attribute: \"logo\", value: nil)", "can't be blank (attribute: \"url_code\", value: nil)", "can't be blank (attribute: \"starts_at\", value: nil)", "can't be blank (attribute: \"contract\", value: nil)", "can't be blank (attribute: \"organization\", value: nil)"]

All of the attributes listed in the errors string (name, description, ...) have the same validate statement as assessment_type.

Why is this failing?

I found the problem. This line:

validate :assessment_type, presence: true

should be

validates :assessment_type, presence: true
