Help w/ errors.add_to_base between controller and model

Hello,

I'm having trouble in routing some errors between model and

controller. The errors produced in the controller
(invite_controller.rb) are collected and spit out nicely in a
flash[:validate] method as such:

if errors.size > 0
flash[:validation] = errors.join(’
’)
end

Errors produced in the model (invite.rb) are displayed w/in a giant page
failure explosion and are not routed into the flash[:validate] method.

The code for the the method is as follows:

self.errors.add_to_base(“an invitation has already been sent to
#{email}”)

Is there a way where I can route the model errors to the
flash[:validate] method as I am in the controller?

Thanks for your help!

Will something like this work:

if model.save
flash[:success] = “model successfully saved”
else
flash[:validate] = model.errors.full_messages.join(“\n”)
end

Hello,

I tried using the flash[:validate] method in the model and it shows
the “method not found” error.

What exactly does the model.save method do?

More on that- here’s the full errors that are displayed.

Official validation error from the model:
Validation failed: an invitation has already been sent to
[email protected]

And the other errors from the page failure:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/validations.rb:748:in
save!' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/invite_controller.rb:40:in bulk’
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/invite_controller.rb:30:in `bulk’

Can you copy and paste your model and controller action? If it’s big
use Pastie http://pastie.caboo.se/ and post a link here.
