ruby on rails - validate at least one in has_and_belongs_to_many

I have a model with:

has_and_belongs_to_many :users

How do I validate that the model has at least one user in the model? I tried:

validates_presence_of :users

But that doesn't seem to give me what I want...

I would write custom validation:

validate :has_users?

def has_users?
  # rails 2:
  errors.add_to_base "Model must have some users." if self.users.blank?
end

That would do exactly that.

Note in rails 3+ you have to use:

  # rails 3+
  errors.add :base, "Model must have some users." if self.users.blank?

In rails 4+ there's a built-in shortcut, so you can simply do:

validates :users, presence: true
