Don't pass ActiveRecordHelper label tags through field_error_proc

Reported by Cheah Chu Yeow | June 23rd, 2008 @ 09:54 AM

One of the 1st things I do with a new Rails project is to set a field_error_proc like so:

ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance|
  if html_tag =~ /<label/
    html_tag
  else
    # Handle every other tag.
  end
end

This trivial patch checks for a content_tag name argument of :label (because that is what Rails uses internally to generate a label tag) and skips error wrapping.

I don't really see a case for <label>s being wrapped around an error div.

Also, unrelated to this ticket, but I've also changed the #respond_to? calls to receive symbols rather than strings (it's cheaper).

Creating a bug report

When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.

Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to security@rubyonrails.org, do not use trac for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in trac is publicly available as soon as it is posted.

Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too".
