=> ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Name can't be blank
</ruby>
To verify whether or not a particular attribute of an object is valid, you can use the +invalid?+ method. This method is only useful _after_ validations have been run, because it only inspects the errors collection and does not trigger validations itself. It's different from the +valid?+ method because it doesn't verify the validity of the object as a whole, but only if there are errors found on an individual attribute of the object.
+Object#invalid?+ is simply the inverse of +Object#valid?+. +invalid?+ triggers your validations and returns true if any errors were added to the object, and false otherwise.
