# 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:
#
# * :message - A custom error message (default is: "is invalid").
# * :on - Specifies the contexts where this validation is active.
# Runs in all validation contexts by default (nil). You can pass a symbol
# or an array of symbols. (e.g. on: :create or
# on: :custom_validation_context or
# on: [:create, :custom_validation_context])
# * :if - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine
# if the validation should occur (e.g. if: :allow_validation,
# or if: Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }). The method,
# proc or string should return or evaluate to a +true+ or +false+ value.
# * :unless - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to
# determine if the validation should not occur (e.g. unless: :skip_validation,
# or unless: Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }). The
# method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a +true+ or +false+
# value.
