Question

Hi i use the Devise gem and want to use Client_side_validation
i install gem and put

//= require rails.validations

in to my assets/javasctipt/application.js

and in the form i add

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name), :validate => true ) do |f| %>

I thought thats all i need to do …
but when i unfocus my fild – nothing happens ( i got one warning in my fire bug ) ->

TypeError: settings is undefined
 .live('focusout', function() { $(this).isValid(settings.validators); })

does not work
where i have mistake?

Answer 1

Same issue, investigating.

On my side, it seems that the js exported by client-side-validation, which in my case is
window['user_new']
doesn’t match the id of the form
new_user

So when rails.validation.js try to get the data
var settings = window[form.attr('id')];
it fails.

[EDIT]

In the devise view, replacing

= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name), :validate => true) do |f|

by

= form_for(resource, :validate => true) do |f|

fixes it for me!

Not really sure why the :as => resource_name invert the name of the resource though ?
