title: Validations in multistep wizard
body: <p>Im trying to setup validations on a multistep wizard (using the wicked gem and this <a href="https://github.com/schneems/wicked/wiki/Partial-Validation-of-Active-Record-Objects" rel="nofollow">GUIDE</a>). The first step I am entering some user information (using Devise + Registrations) but when I submit that I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NoMethodError in RegistrationsController#create
  
  undefined method `include?' for nil:NilClass
  Rails.root: /Users/nelsonkeating/Desktop/remindeal1
  
  Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
  app/models/user.rb:54:in `active_or_address?'
  
  
  Class User
    validates_presence_of :address, :presence =&gt; true, :if =&gt; :active_or_address?
  
    def active_or_address?
      status.include?('address') || active?
    end
  
   def active?
     status == 'active'
   end
  </code></pre>
