 class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
    def validate(record)
      if some_complex_logic
        record.errors[:base] = "This record is invalid"
      end

This guy puts them under app/validators/, which I've done as well, ever since I saw that blog post.

Any chance anyone knows how to display this folder in "Project" structure in Netbeans? I'm currently only able to access this folder through "Files", but i hate the tree hierarchy. – user1226868 Oct 17 '12 at 13:23

Add this class in your lib directory and require it in your model and include it inside.

Alternatively, you can also add it to the models directory of your app. Also, as mentioned by shingara, you need to add,

include ActiveModel::Validations
validates_with MyValidator

to the model file of the record class.
