Setting custom error message in Array Bag

Question

I want to redirect to view if a certain condition is not met. Check code:

if($request->get('files') == 'yes' && $request->file('file_name') == null){
                return Redirect::to('brief/'.$id."/edit")
                ->withErrors('errors',"Mention file")
                ->withInput();
            }

It prints array as:

Illuminate\Support\ViewErrorBag {#239
  #bags: array:1 [
    "Mention file" => Illuminate\Support\MessageBag {#240
      #messages: array:1 [
        0 => array:1 [
          0 => "errors"
        ]
      ]
      #format: ":message"
    }
  ]

At view end I am doing:

@if (count($errors) > 0)
                <div style="margin-top: 10%;" class="alert alert-danger">
                    <ul>
                        @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
                            <li>{{ $error }}</li>
                        @endforeach
                    </ul>
                </div>
            @endif

It is not printing the message Mention File

@aldrin27 Yes I have but since this code is not like part of main validator so I am redirecting it separately. — Volatil3

Either you pass a string with ->withErrors, or pass an array with a key "errors" using ->with:

if($request->get('files') == 'yes' && $request->file('file_name') == null){
            return Redirect::to('brief/'.$id."/edit")
            ->withErrors("Mention file")
            ->withInput();
        }

or

if($request->get('files') == 'yes' && $request->file('file_name') == null){
            return Redirect::to('brief/'.$id."/edit")
            ->with(["errors" => "Mention file"])
            ->withInput();
        }

Ok I found the issue.

From the documents:

you may use the withErrors method to flash the error messages to the session. When using this method, the $errors variable will automatically be shared with your views after redirection,

So ->withErrors('errors',"Mention file") is actually converting $errors into a string which messing things up. Doing simply ->withErrors("Mention file") just added the message in ErrorBag. So the correct code should be:

if($request->get('files') == 'yes' && $request->file('file_name') == null){
                return Redirect::to('brief/'.$id."/edit")
                ->withErrors("Mention file")
                ->withInput();
            }
