Я использую Rails 3.2.0.

У меня есть простая модель, как показано ниже

class Favorite < ActiveRecord::Base

  validates :lst, :presence => true
  validates :uuid, :presence => true, :uniqueness => {:scope => :lst}                                                                                                                                                                    
end

Если я попробую это

f = Favorite.new
f.valid?

Я получаю следующее сообщение об ошибке:
