Rspec Validation testing (Mongoid )

I got a problem when i testing validations in rails with mongoid This is for example my Person Model and my Rspec test.

class Person
    include Mongoid::Document

    validates :first_name , :presence => true
    validates :last_name , :presence => true

end



 [ :last_name, :first_name ].each do |attr|
  it "must have a #{attr}" do
    p = Person.new
    p.send("#{attr}=","")
    p.should_not be_valid
    p.errors[attr].should == [ "can't be blank" ] 
  end
end

But this tests fail because the return value is ["can't be blank", "can't be blank"]

  expected: ["can't be blank"]
        got: ["can't be blank", "can't be blank"]

Why are 2 Errors in this record?? i test this issue with many models and other validation rules. I got everytime the same result

Thx for help

Eric

It's because you're setting one of your fields to empty string and the other retains default value of nil. That's why both of your validations fail each time.
