Hello Folks.

I just got done building a application using Akelos. My boss goes into the application for the first time and inputs some data and he immediately makes it blows up with an error and I look like an idiot.

As it tuns out Akelos does a great job of escaping input data, but I assumed active_record was enforcing field input lengths based on the database column size.

So how do I easily go about enforcing input field lengths in Akelos? The default varchar lengths is 255. If someone enters a string longer than that it blows up on the insert. Without using javascript how do I keep users from typing in more into the form than the database column size?

that's not enough. try:

AkActiveRecord::validatesLengthOf(...)

@oisucf, if you update to rev.1207 you'll find the behaviour you expect after adding to your shared_model.php

var $_automated_validators_enabled = true;
var $_automated_max_length_validator = true;
var $_automated_not_null_validator = true;
