UPDATE

Checked that the object was the same in controller and view. On first load – the @user.object_id.to_s variable is identical in the controller and view.

When re-rendered, the object_id in the view is the same as previously. The object_id in the controller is changing. So the controller object has the errors, the model object in the view does not (it's not updating).

...continuing to search through the code!

I've got a password reset form setup that is not displaying any errors at all and it's killing me. If I input a password (but no confirmation) -- I expect to see 2 errors.

Those 2 errors are in the controller (I can print them out). But they're not showing up in the view...help! I'm definitely calling a render rather than redirect but cannot see what I'm doing wrong :S.

It's also not working when I manually add an error as in the first if statement :(

Code is:

before_action :get_user, only: [:edit, :update]

def edit
end

def update
if params[:user][:password].empty?
@user.errors.add(:password, "can't be empty")
puts "Error count for user = #{@user.errors.count}"
render 'edit'
elsif @user.update(user_params)
log_in @user
flash[:success] = "Password has been reset."
redirect_to @user
else
puts "Error count for user = #{@user.errors.count}"
render 'edit'
end
end

-- View
<% provide(:title, 'Reset password') %>

Reset password

<%= "Error count for user = #{@user.errors.count}" %>
