Form Error Messages Rails
in Rails 3.0? up vote 14 down vote favorite 1 Where are the default validation error messages in Rails 3.0? What is the equivalent of ActiveRecord::Error.default_error_messages[:taken], for example? I have gotten as far as finding that ActiveModel handles the errors rather than ActiveRecord, but I can't find the errors themselves. ruby-on-rails validation ruby-on-rails-3 activemodel share|improve this question edited Sep 27 '10 at 22:36 asked Sep 27 rails error messages without attribute name '10 at 22:23 Mike Blyth 2,07111834 While this may not fully answer your question it provides you a way to customize the validation error messages (assuming that it's what you're trying to do): stackoverflow.com/questions/808547/… –rogeriopvl Sep 27 '10 at 22:45 Actually, I'm not trying to customize them but just to use them in testing, making sure that the right error messages are raised. However, the link you gave is useful--it appears it's more complicated and less intuitive to created customized messages than in earlier versions! –Mike Blyth Sep 27 '10 at 22:52 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 19 down vote accepted http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_model/locale/en.yml and http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/locale/en.yml :D UPDATE: Maybe you should try to add your own custom error messages? # de.yml activerecord: errors: messages: taken: "ist bereits vergeben" # test_spec.rb ... assert_equal(object.errors[field], I18n.t("activerecord.errors.messages.taken")) ... share|improve this answer edited Oct 1 '10 at 0:33 answered Sep 28 '10 at 0:26 Lichtamberg 7,77664389 Thank you, that's another useful bit of information. But how do I access the information in a Rails program? There must be a method in ActiveModel::Errors or somewhere else, isn't there? –Mike Blyth Sep 28 '1

in Rails a LOT in a recent project. I've been customising https://www.stormconsultancy.co.uk/blog/development/tips-tricks/where-to-find-rails-default-validation-error-messages/ form labels and validation messages using the internationalisation features - it works really, really well. There is, however, one small problem. When you start, you are presented with an almost blank YAML file and some very flakey documentation at the bottom of the simple_form readme. How do you know how to error messages structure that YAML file? What attribute names should you use? One of the best resources I've found so far are the defaults files in the Rails source code. https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_model/locale/en.yml https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/locale/en.yml That gives you a full list of the attribute names to use for different validators. For example, if you're using a error messages rails validates_format_of validator, you can quickly see that you need to use the invalid YAML attribute. Good luck guessing that one! The looking at the source trick can also be very useful for gems. I've spent ages Googling for the correct YAML attribute to use for the validates_email_format_of gem with absolutely no luck whatsoever. 30 seconds on Github and I find the source file which tells me the attribute for an invalid email address is invalid_email_address.
