Hi -
I’m running Phoenix 1.2.1 and Elixir 1.3.4 and having some trouble getting simple form validation to work. I’m following along in the Programming Phoenix guide and have this create function in my code
def create(conn, %{"user" => user_params}) do
changeset = User.changeset(%User{}, user_params)
case Repo.insert(changeset) do
{:ok, user} ->
conn
|> put_flash(:info, "#{user.first_name} #{user.last_name} successfully registered! Check for a confirmation email in your inbox.")
|> redirect(to: user_path(conn, :show, user.id))
{:error, changeset} ->
render(conn, "new.html", changeset: changeset, title: "Register")
end
end
When I post the form I get this when I dump out the “form” that is passed into error_tag function
[debug] %Phoenix.HTML.Form{data: %{}, errors: [], hidden: [], id: "user", impl: Phoenix.HTML.FormData.Plug.Conn, index: nil, name: "user", options: [class: "settings-form"], params: %{"email" => "", "first_name" => "", "last_name" => "", "password" => "", "password_confirmation" => ""}, source: %Plug.Conn{adapter: {Plug.Adapters.Cowboy.Conn, :...}, assigns: %{changeset: #Ecto.Changeset<action: :insert, changes: %{username: ""}, errors: [first_name: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]}, last_name: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]}, email: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]}, password: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]}, password_confirmation: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]}], data: #Go2sci.User<>, valid?: false>, layout: {Go2sci.LayoutView, "app.html"}, title: "Register"}, .....
So when i dump out form.errors in the error_tag function it’s always but as you can see the form object has both an errors = and another one that says
errors: [first_name: {“can’t be blank”, [validation: :required]}, last_name: {“can’t be blank”, [validation: :required]}, email: {“can’t be blank”, [validation: :required]}, password: {“can’t be blank”, [validation: :required]}, password_confirmation: {“can’t be blank”, [validation: :required]}]
Not sure what’s going on? I saw this issue which briefly discusses the problem but it made it seem like it was fixed and it was from almost a year ago.
