How to override validation with Rails + Devise

Question

I'm trying override the :message validates_presence_of email and password, but I can not. How to I solve this?

Answer 1

The source code shows another route: you can override some methods to determine whether they are needed:

  def password_required?
    !persisted? || !password.nil? || !password_confirmation.nil?
  end

  def email_required?
    true
  end

Put those functions in your user model, and change them as needed.

Answer 2

I describe here how to customize your devise validations: http://jessewolgamott.com/blog/2011/12/08/the-one-where-devise-validations-are-customized/

You'll remove :validatable and replace/customize the rest
