Custom validation not setting rollback with false return

Let's say that I want to make a condition to not create a new record if it returns false. My custom validation is not creating a rollback.

user.rb

class User < ApplicationRecord

    validate :test # my custom validation


    private

    def test
        # condition to return false
        false
    end
end

Should I make any other previews configuration? Thank's.

Custom validation should add an error to an array of errors for the model, for example:

def test
  errors[:base] << "This user is invalid because ..."
end

The method valid? checks if there are any errors in errors array. It does not care about return value from the custom validator.
