Error Message is not coming in Validations

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

I am using validations in my website .the problem is that the error message is not coming while giving wrong inputs or while validations.But the validations are working fine,what I mean that while giving wrong inputs the page will not redirect to next page.

I am using the validations in the models and also used

<%= error_messages_for 'model_name'%> in my rhtml file

Thanks and Regards Divyesh Kumar

Are you sure the validations are working and generating errors on the object? If the redirects do not work, the problem is most likely in the controller. What are you doing there?

Yes the validation are working fine ,if I am giving right inputs redirect is working fine.

if params[:user]         user = User.find(session[:user].id)         if user.update_attributes(params[:user]) #&& ((params[:password]== "" && params[:password_confirmation] == "") || (params[:password] != "" && params[:password_confirmation] != ""))           session[:user] = user           if params[:picture] != ""             User.upload_picture(params,session[:user])           end

           redirect_to :action => "show" , :id => session[:user].id         else            flash[:notice]="Field marked with asterisk(*) are necessary or might be wrong"            redirect_to :action => "edit_user_info" , :id => session[:user].id

As I am using flash to print to print the error message.The problem is this is not the googd idea for me,I want complete error message for that.

If you want to get the validation messages you can't use redirect_to (at least not without some extra work) since that throws away the user with errors. You need to use render

Ok, I will take care of this suggestion into my account.

I added like this:

if params[:user]         user = User.find(session[:user].id)         if user.update_attributes(params[:user])           session[:user] = user           if params[:picture] != ""             User.upload_picture(params,session[:user])           end

You also need to set @user to the user your editing or
error_messages_for 'user' won't know what to display

This error is cuming after I made changes in controller as well as rhtml file NameError in User#edit_user_info

Showing app/views/user/edit_user_info.rhtml where line #36 raised:

`@@user' is not allowed as an instance variable name

Extracted source (around line #36):

33: <form action="edit_user_info" class="genericFormClass" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 34: 35: 36: <%= error_messages_for '@user'%>

That's because it should be <%= error_messages_for 'user'%> (check the docs)

In the controller you need to use @user in order for the view to be
able to do anything with it in the view you use error_messages_for 'user' This should be covered by any introduction to rails type tutorial, you
might find you save a lot of time by doing a little reading rather
than stabbing around in the dark.
