I have pretty big RoR app. There is superclass named User.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates :email, presence: true
end

Also I have class Client which inherited by User

class Client < User
with_options(on: [:personal_info]) do |pi|
  pi.validates :first_name,
               :last_name,
               :email,
               :mobile_phone,
               :landline_phone,
               presence: true
  pi.validates :primary_email,
               email_format: {
                 message: "doesn't look like an email address"
               }
end
end

When I create Client's object I got 2 errors that "Email can't be blank." How can I disable or skip validates of superclass?? Remove validations in superclass is impossible.

Have you tried `validates :email, presence: false` in your Client class? – rderoldan1 Dec 23 '14 at 14:00
Wouldn't that validate the *absence* of the email, instead of just skipping the validation? – jmm Dec 23 '14 at 14:39
