Unwanted Flash message in view

Question

I have this code for displaying flash messages in a HAML file:

# View partial
Test1

= flash.each do |type, message|
  .container
    .row
      .col-md-12        
        %div{class: "alert #{bootstrap_class_for(type)} alert-dismissible", role: 'alert'}
          Test1a
          = message
          Test1b
          %button.close{:'data-dismiss' => 'alert', type: 'button'}
            %span{:'aria-hidden' => 'true'} ×
            %span.sr-only Close

Test2

I can't understand why between Test1b and Test2 a plain Hash gets displayed.

Here's some more code in case that helps:

  def devise_error_messages!
    if resource.errors.full_messages.any?
      flash.now[:error] = resource.errors.full_messages.join(' & ')
    end
    return
  end
end

    case flash_type.to_sym

      when :error

      when :notice

      else
        flash_type.to_s
    end
  end
end

        = devise_error_messages!
        .form-group
          = f.label :email
          = f.email_field :email, autofocus: true, class: 'form-control'
        .form-group
          = f.label :password
          - if @validatable
            %i #{@minimum_password_length} characters minimum
          = f.password_field :password, autocomplete: 'off', class: 'form-control'
        .form-group
          = f.label :password_confirmation
          = f.password_field :password_confirmation, autocomplete: 'off', class: 'form-control'
        .form-group
          = f.submit 'Sign up', class: 'btn btn-primary'

        = render 'devise/shared/links'

It's because you have:

= flash.each

As opposed to:

- flash.each

In HAML, the = means to take the result of the Ruby and put it on the page (so when you iterate over something, the result is the collection you iterated over), and the - means just evaluate the Ruby.
