Rails

I had two fields in my form i.e start and end time fields, i am
validating times but i am not reflecting the error message at the
field, what should i have to do to diplay the error as “start time
should be before end time”.
please help me

validate :valid_times

def valid_times
if start_time >= end_time
self.errors.add :start_time, ‘has to be before end time’
end
end

Probably your view is not checking for errors on the object. You need
code in it something like:

<% if @widget.errors.any? %>


<%= pluralize(@widget.errors.count, “error”) %> prohibited
this widget from being saved:



    <% @widget.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
  • <%= msg %>

    • <% end %>


<% end %>

Check your view (or layout) for such code, and if not there, stick
this in, substituting your model name for widget.

Oh! Okay. That’s a bit more tedious code. What you can do then is
have the errors attach to the specific fields, and check for them when
displaying each field. I think there are some standard ways to do
this, but I don’t recall offhand where to find examples and
instructions. Google is your friend. IIRC, the default stuff will at
least put a red box around the specific fields, using CSS…
