def message
  <<-MESSAGE.strip
validate_uniqueness_of works by matching a new record against an
existing record. If there is no existing record, it will create one
using the record you provide.

While doing this, the following error was raised:

#{Shoulda::Matchers::Util.indent(underlying_exception.message, 2)}

The best way to fix this is to provide the matcher with a record where
any required attributes are filled in with valid values beforehand.
