Question

I want to see the content of validationErrors => array(???) of the $Model after a failed validation, but there is no “afterValidation()” method.
Does anyone know how can I see that or at least how would it look exactely?

Thank’s!

On Controller, you can validate data before you trying save:

$this->ModelName->set($this->request->data);

if ($this->ModelName->validates()) {
    // success
} else {
    // failed
    $errors = $this->ModelName->validationErrors;
}
