Question

I have a RESTful service that, when I try to save a new record does a unique email check. When it fails, I return a 400 error code along with a JSON message with an “errors” value in it.

Unfortunately, my error callback on my save doesn’t seem to be firing. Any suggestions?

var nRecord = new RecordModel(values);
nRecord.save({
    wait: true,
    error: function(model,response){
        console.log('error2');
        obj.errorHandler(model,response);
    },
    success: function() {
        console.log('success2');
        obj.alert('Information saved!','Record Created!','success');

        // if there were no errors, clear the list
        $('#record-form :input').val('');
    }
});

“Error2” is never displayed in the console. Thoughts?

You seem to be passing your error handler and other options as model attributes and saved into the model instead. Trying passing null as a first parameter to the save function. Hopefully this will make it work 🙂

nRecord.save(null,{
    wait: true,
    error: function(model,response){
        console.log('error2');
        obj.errorHandler(model,response);
    },
    success: function() {
        console.log('success2');
        obj.alert('Information saved!','Record Created!','success');

        // if there were no errors, clear the list
        $('#record-form :input').val('');
    }
});
