Active Record error messages double? (i.e twice)

Does it matter if you do observe :employee instead of observe Employee? It may be the difference between a class and an instance?

Any ideas please?

Hi My controller code is very big  it is not clear

I'm giving the same example in models

class Employee< ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_presence_of :name,:value
  validates_numericality_of :value
  validates_uniqueness_of :value,:name
 
  has_many :issues
end

module EmployeeSpecHelper   
     def valid_employee_attributes 
        {
          :id=>1,
          :name=>"Reported" ,         
          :value=> 1
        }   
     end     
   end   
   
  describe Employee do
  fixtures :employees
  include EmployeeSpecHelper
 
  before(:each) do
    @employee = Employee.new   
  end
   
  it "should be invalid without a name"do 
    @issue_employee .attributes = valid_employee _attributes
    @issue_employee .name = nil
    @employee .should_not be_valid     
    @employee .errors.on(:name).should eql("can't be blank")     
    @employee .name = 'somename'         
   
  end
end

Im getting no errors when i run the rake:spec controoler

But when i run rake:spec (i.e controller and models)
the erro rmessages are getting twice
like " can't be blank ,can't be blank"

In all models same like this only
Any ideas?
