My validations work fine
class Owner < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :car_number, :name, :phone, presence:true
validates_uniqueness_of :car_number
has_many :cars
has_many :visits
accepts_nested_attributes_for :visits
and my save.js.erb
$("ul.errors").html("")
<% if @owner.errors.any? %>
<% @owner.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
$("ul.errors").append($("<li />").html("<%= message.html_safe %>"))
$('.field_with_errors').addClass('has-error has-feedback');
<% end
else %>
$("#new_owner_div").html("<%= j (render 'visits/show', { :f => @visit })%>")
<%end%>
but no fields get under class 'field_with_errors'.
Ok, as always, troubles that takes much time to resolve are easier than I thought.
I found how to for each error's input by this [ assuming your inputs are named: modelname[field_name]
<% @owner.errors.each do |attribute, error| %>
$('[name="owner[<%=attribute%>]"]').addClass('field_with_errors')
<% end %>
where in css:
.field_with_errors {
border: 2px solid red
}
