Ruby on Rails - custom validation allowing isn't working

Question

I am trying to learn custom validation. Below is the simple code:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates :username, presence: true,length: { in: 6..20 }
  validate :name_cannot_be_tushar

  def name_cannot_be_tushar
    if username == "Tushar"
        errors.add(:username, "can't be Tushar")
    end
  end
end

When I am trying to insert data through rails console,

2.3.0 :014 > User.create(username:"Tushar",password:"ABC") (0.1ms) begin transaction SQL (0.4ms) INSERT INTO "users" ("username", "password", "created_at", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) [["username", "Tushar"], ["password", "ABC"], ["created_at", "2016-04-14 09:23:14.077264"], ["updated_at", "2016-04-14 09:23:14.077264"]] (12.9ms) commit transaction => # 2.3.0 :015 >

It is letting me insert the data. What do I change to make my custom validation method work?

Your code is absolutely fine. You may need to restart rails console, and it will work fine. Rails console session doesn't automatically load recent changes in your model.
