Hi,

I just generated a scaffold for some existing models I have, and  
everything is working fine, except I get a 0 error message on the edit  
view:

* * *

0 errors prohibited this statistic type from being saved

## There were problems with the following fields:

I would have thought the default behaviour would be to hide this error  
message if there are no errors, and that is my impression of what  
happened when I have scaffolded from scratch before.

I am using Rails 2.1.1 and the edit view looks like this:

\<% form\_for(@statistic\_type) do |f| %\>  
\<%= f.error\_messages %\>

**Name**  
 \<%= f.text\_field :name %\>

etc.

Has anybody every encountered this before?

It’s not a huge immediate problem as all the functionality seems to be  
working, it’s just that it will be confusing for users …

Many thanks in advance
