Seems that you are trying to use a variable called errors in your view but you aren't passing the variable from the corresponding controller.

Undefined variable: $errors
Trying to learn Laravel, I just installed the latest version of Laravel. I'm relatively new to Laravel , and only tried using Laravel 4 for a very short time. But in version 4 I had no problems with outputting errors to a view, now in version 5.2 I'm getting :
Undefined variable: errors (View: /resources/views/home.blade.php)
I searched the web for a solution, and found that I had to change the kernel.php file...
from:
protected $middleware = [
\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
];
/**
* The application's route middleware groups.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
],
];
To:
protected $middleware = [
\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
];
/**
* The application's route middleware groups.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
],
];
In my routes file I moved all routes within the "web" middleware group, as advised on several forums. But I still get an error, only a different one:
RuntimeException in Request.php line 852: Session store not set on request.
I'm not sure but it can't be the intention of the Laravel developers, that I have to modify core files to get my project working. So I must be doing something wrong. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

If you don't want to change Kernel.php , always place your routes in web middleware
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
// if you want the $errors , place your routes here
});
By default , $errors come from \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class class, and \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class needs session , so we also need \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class . This is why your solution works.....

Thanks @Gerard
As I mentioned I'm new tot Laravel, so I'm following some tutorials to get the hang of it ;-)
This is my Controller file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use \Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserActionController extends Controller
{
public function getUserAction($action , $name = null)
{
return view('actions.' . $action, ['name' => $name]);
}
public function createUserAction(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'action' => 'required',
'name' => 'required|alpha'
]);
return view('actions.create', ['action' => $request['action'], 'name' => $request['name']]);
}
}
In Laravel 4 I added something like ->withErrors($errors); to the view. The tutorial I'm following, as the above code is showing, should work without it.
My routes file:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('home');
})->name('home');
Route::group(['prefix' => 'do'], function() {
Route::get('/{action}/{name?}', [
'uses' => 'UserActionController@getUserAction',
'as' => 'get_action'
]);
Route::post('/', [
'uses' => 'UserActionController@createUserAction',
'as' => 'create_action'
]);
});
});

I started all over with another test project. I moved my routes, in the route file, to web middleware, as suggested. Now the
Undefined variable: errors (View: /resources/views/home.blade.php)
is gone, but still no errors are send to the view, when validation fails in my controller.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Quote;
use App\Author;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class QuoteController extends Controller
{
public function getIndex()
{
$quotes = Quote::all();
return view('index', ['quotes' => $quotes]);
}
}
public function postQuote(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'author' => 'required|max:60|alpha',
'quote' => 'required|max:500'
]);
$quote = new Quote();
$quote->quote = $quoteText;
$author->quotes()->save($quote);
return redirect()->route('index')->with([
'succes' => 'Quotes saved!'
]);
}
}
The Laravel documentation says:
The validate method accepts an incoming HTTP request and a set of validation rules. If the validation rules pass, your code will keep executing normally; however, if validation fails, an exception will be thrown and the proper error response will automatically be sent back to the user. In the case of a traditional HTTP request, a redirect response will be generated.
The way I read this is, that I should not have to pass the variable, called errors, from the corresponding controller to the view myself .
Could the problem be that I'm on a secure server, and using https?
Anyone a suggestion?
