      # 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.
