      # WARNING: This validation must not be used on both ends of an association. Doing so will lead to a circular dependency and cause infinite recursion.

      # NOTE: This validation will not fail if the association hasn't been assigned. If you want to
      # ensure that the association is both present and guaranteed to be valid, you also need to
      # use +validates_presence_of+.

      # Configuration options:
      # * <tt>:message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "is invalid")
      # * <tt>:on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active. Runs in all
      #   validation contexts by default (+nil+), other options are <tt>:create</tt>
      #   and <tt>:update</tt>.
      # * <tt>:if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>). The
      #   method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
      # * <tt>:unless</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   not occur (e.g. <tt>:unless => :skip_validation</tt>, or <tt>:unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }</tt>). The
      #   method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
