Laravel 5.2 form validation not showing errors?

Question

My form validation is not showing any error

My routes.php file is as follows:

Route::post('/user/add/form', [
    'uses' => 'AdminController@adduser',
    'as' => 'admin.add.user.to.database' 
    ]);

My adduser function in AdminController contains following:

$this->validate($request,[
        'email'=> 'required|email',
        'name'=> 'required',
        'password'=> 'required',
        'aright'=> 'required',
        'dob' => 'date',
        'publication'=> 'string',
        'utype' => 'required'
]);

This is the blade view which I am using for form. This asks for some of the fields whihc are shown in controller function and should show the error if the required field are not filled but it is not showing anything.

In routes did you use 'web' middleware? This sets the Session. — Sovon, Apr 07 '16 at 18:50
Yeah this solved the problem. Thanks. It was a recent update which caused the problem. — Lakshya Garg, Apr 07 '16 at 19:19

As of v5.2.27, released on 2015-03-25, all routes in app\Http\routes.php are now in the web middleware group by default. If you have explicitly specified this middleware group inside your app\Http\routes.php file, you need to remove it.

I guess the issue is that you are calling first() on the error? first() is a method on the MessageBag instance ie $errors. See the problem line

<h1> {!! $error->first() !!} </h1>

Change to

<h1> {{ $error }} </h1>
