I have a Player model with some validations. I am using a partial form to create and update player info. I have the following like in the view
<%= error_messages_for 'player' %>
On create the validation errors are correctly displayed, but if a validation error fails update, I get an ugly stack trace error that looks like this
validation failed: Last name can't be blank

why aren't the validation erros being displayed nicely on update?
Thanks
