Error prohibited this user from being saved:

I've been having an issue that I can't seem to fix

3 errors prohibited this user from being saved:

  • Email can't be blank
  • Password confirmation doesn't match Password
  • Password is too short (minimum is 8 characters)

I can't figure out how to get rid of the 3 error prohibited this user from being saved: All I want to display is the errors in bullets. Any ideas on how to go along with this? I'm using Devise, by the way.

Solution

    We override the devise helper to give us ultimate control over the errors we wish to show. Here is a helpful resource which shows you how to achieve this

    Helper

    As per the answer by Buck Doyle & the attached resource, you may wish to do this:

    #app/helpers/devise_helper.rb
module DeviseHelper
  def devise_error_messages!
     resource.errors.full_messages.map { |msg| content_tag(:li, msg) }.join
  end
end

    This will allow you to change your devise views to include the devise_error_messages! method:

    #app/views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb
<%= devise_error_messages! %>
