<t:error/> component

[vlamp]

Hello everybody

I'm trying to figure out why the <t:error> (singular) component is not
working for me. No difficulties with <t:errors/> (plural) in the same place.

The error is recorded with a reference to the field. Inspecting the form's
ValidationTracker contains the expected error. Likewise, <t:error> is
referencing that field with the for attribute.

The field and the error component are also encapsulated by a Form component
and a <div class="form-group">.

All that gets rendered is:
<p data-error-block-for="linkSearch_101575139e52" class="help-block
invisible"></p>
No inner HTML instead of the expected error message.

So I looked at the Error.java
<https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/blob/master/tapestry-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/components/Error.java>
to understand how the component works. Apparently it never generated any
inner HTML. Also, I was expecting to find some sort of reference to
ValidationTracker, but there is none.

Any ideas anybody, please?

Hi Volker,

I believe the actual error message is done with JS:

https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/blob/0229bd59d44de848ae7412c8161bde6afe75ab84/tapestry-core/src/main/coffeescript/META-INF/modules/t5/core/fields.coffee#L173

https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/blob/73e327b4f89639dee922713164dec05ff2d9a3e9/tapestry-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/base/AbstractField.java#L287

What kind of field is the t:error for? Did you record the error manually,
or use a validator?


Cheers
Ben

Thank you, Ben. Your response helped me understand how <t:error> actually
works.

The problem I described was due to AJAX-based form submission. The form was
nested in the zone that got rerendered onFailure().
