Error Messages while entering data in 2 tables with one form

rubyonrails-talk

validates_associated checks if the associated object (in this case User) is a valid record. If not, it adds an error to the UserInfo object's user method. ("User is invalid")

"first name can't be blank" is an error on the User object's first_name method.

If you want to display the "first name can't be blank" you'll need to access it either through <%= error_messages_for :user %> or @user.errors.on(:first_name)

Hope that helps

Hi Gavin,

I try following as u say <%= error_messages_for :user %> but it gives me same error messages. i don't know how to use @user.errors.on(:first_name) and where to use?

Regards,

Salil Gaikwad

To get rid of the "user is invalid", remove validates_associated :user from the UserInfo model

Meanwhile, read up on validates_associated: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods.html#M002461 and make sure you want ot use it here.
