Ruby Testing trouble with Validating Formatting

Im puzzled why the below code doesn't seem to return a pass on the test, my test keeps returning Failed assertion, no message given. I have gone through jason's second video but im still receiving this message. Thanks a million to those who can shed some light on this. 

     validates :first_name, presence: true

     validates :last_name, presence: true

     validates :profile_name, presence: true,
                              uniqueness: true,
                              format:  {
                              with: /^[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+$/,
                              message: 'must be formatted correctly.'
                               }

validates :first_name, presence: true

validates :last_name, presence: true

validates :profile_name, presence: true, uniqueness: true

has_many :statuses

def full_name first_name + " " + last_name end end
