Laravel Passing Validation Errors to View

Question

I have the following Laravel 4.2 controller code in a store method:

if ($validator->fails()) { return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput(); }

I've tested this code with var_dump and the $validator is definitely returning the correct error messages.

The errors however are not being passed to the view. When attempting var_dump($errors) on the view I get the following exception Undefined variable: errors.

I've also tried (by accident) var_dump($error)and it is of type object(Illuminate\Support\ViewErrorBag) however it does not contain any errors.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Show the code you have. $errors is shared view variable and it's always defined, unless you mess with the ViewServiceProvider. — Jarek Tkaczyk

@JarekTkaczyk Yes, you are 100% right, we don't need to check $errors variable. Sorry about that comment. John this should give error var_dump($error) but I believe this is a typo. Happy New year guys. — Sher Afgan

After looking into this issue for two whole days - I've finally fixed it! In the end I removed the vendor folder and ran composer update. I can only assume that something within Laravel was corrupt in the initial download.
