Question

I would like to only allow certain validations within production vs other environments for an app.

For example, I have tried to add:

if Rails.env.production?
  validates :email, :uniqueness => true
  validates :phone, :uniqueness => true
end

However this will not work. How can one add validations only to specific environment modes?

Answer 1

Try this –

validates :email, :uniqueness => true, :if => lambda{ Rails.env.production?}
validates :phone, :uniqueness => true, :if => lambda{ Rails.env.production?}
