Validation messages not showing anymore
Hi there, I didn't change anything special in my project. But for all my form validation cases, the validation messages stopped showing. This for example is my user update validator
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$user->id,
'unique_url' => 'required|unique:users,unique_url,'.$user->id,
// 'role' => 'required',
]);
this is how I print all my error messages per field.
@if($errors->has('email'))
<div class="alert alert-danger">
{{ $errors->first('email') }}
</div>
@endif
But when I do this:
@if($errors)
{{ dd($errors->all()) }}
@endif
it returns:
array:1 [▼
0 => "The name field is required."
]
(left the name field empty, to create the error) Does anyone know what the problem is? I see that the error key is 0 rather than name. So that might be the problem. But not sure how to fix this. Cause I didn't have this problem before.
Level 2
@Armani Tried that too, also doesn't show.
Level 17
@janmoes There must be an issue with your code, How about this syntax:
@if ($errors->any())
<div class="alert alert-danger">
<ul>
@foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
@endif
Debug your code.
Level 2
@Armani That doesn't show either. Is there any kind of code in particular, that you want to see?
Level 17
@janmoes Show the code of controller and the view.

$user->syncRoles([$request->role]);

@janmoes Have you returned after the validation check?
Level 2
public function update(Request $request, User $user)
{
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$user->id,
'unique_url' => 'required|unique:users,unique_url,'.$user->id,
// 'role' => 'required',
]);
if($request->has('role')){
$user->syncRoles([$request->role]);
}
$user->update($request->all());
return redirect()->route('users.index')->with('success', 'Gebruiker is succesvol bijgewerkt.');
}
Yeah. It's really weird, that at first, validation messages worked everywhere, and all out of a sudden, they stopped showing.
Level 70
@janmoes Can you try this?
public function update(Request $request, User $user)
{
$validator = $request->validate([
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users'.
'unique_url' => 'required|unique:users',
// 'role' => 'required',
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return redirect()
->back()
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput();
}
if($request->has('role')){
$user->syncRoles([$request->role]);
}
$user->update($request->all());
return redirect()->route('users.index')->with('success', 'Gebruiker is succesvol bijgewerkt.');
}
Level 2
@tisuchi I get this error on the if statement with ->fails()
Expected type 'object'. Found 'array'.
Level 17
Run this:
php artisan optimize:clear
Are you sure there's a validation error to display?
Level 2
@Armani I ran that, but still no differences. And yeah I'm pretty sure. It worked before. I haven't touched this project in a while. And today when I tried to edit a user, I found out the errors weren't displaying anymore.
Level 2
I fixed the issue. There wasn't a problem with my code. It appeared that a JS library it's CSS had also a class .alert on display: none which made my error messages invisible. Maybe next time, use some more precise class names to prevent these kind of issues in the near future.
