client_side_validations gem password field devise

Question

I'm trying to setup client_side_validations for the password field in devise. One of my validations is presence of a password. The problem is in the edit form, the :password field is for the new password, which I want to allow to be blank in the case when the user is not trying to change his password.

I set up my own validations in the user model so that I could use the client_side_validations in the sign_up form. But they're interfering with the edit form.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

Can you try setting your Gemfile to pull from the master branch on Github and try the format noted here:

Rails 3: client_side_validations gem and devise password validations

And let me know if the issue still exists?
