Login failure flash message not appearing

[Adam]

Devise is more or less working fine (I can sign up, log in, log out,
etc.).

However, login-failure flash messages are never appearing.
When I enter a known-bad email address (for example), the :invalid
flash message never appears.

I've debugged this in sessions_controller.rb
(SessionsController#create), and the flash message is getting set
properly to :invalid (or rather, its correct I18n translation 'Invalid
email or password.').

The view produces "<p style='color: green'></p>" is if it wants to say
something, but the <p> is empty.

I'm using ruby 1.8.7 on Mac Snow Leopard, Rails 2.3.5, Devise 1.0.4,
Warden 0.9.6. (Same behavior under 1.0.1)

Bright ideas anyone?

thanks,

Adam

You need to configure it to display the flash message. By default, Rails scaffold only shows flash[:notice] and Devise sets flash[:alert]. You have to change your view to show flash[:alert] as well.

Devise uses the keys :notice and :alert for flash messages. We haven't
experienced any issue so far.
Be sure you are handling this flash messages under your layout or
template.

I get it. Thanks very much guys.

I'm guessing that it's conventional in the Rails world to have
something like this in your app/views/layouts/application.html.haml:

- if flash[:notice]
%p(style="color: green")= flash[:notice]
- if flash[:alert]
%p(style="color: red")= flash[:alert]
