Question

I was expecting a flash notice when authentication failures occurs in devise. But get nothing during a authentication failure, just the page refreshes and remains still.
I didn’t change any stuffs. The default devise installation itself is not displaying flash errors with invalid authentication attempt. I just installed devise as a gem a tryed to uise it. Din’t even change a word of the code that is generated.
May be I thought if is it due to some browser comparability issues.
But I get other mannually introduced flash messsages else working.

Any suggestions as to what may be broken.

I’m using rails 3.0.1
* Update *

I’m getting failure messages for user registration(sign up) but not for failures messages of signing in.
some googleing on this topic revealed that for sign up it expects:-
<%= devise_error_messages! %>
But for sign in it expects some other alert message tag to be referenced, but didn’t get the exact info of what is that alert tag which i must use and wher to use ???

Please provide some suggestions !!!
Thanks in advance.

Atlast after some good amount of searching/browsing I found the answer,
you have to add the following piece of code in our application.html.erb file

  <%- flash.each do |name, msg| -%>
    <%= content_tag :div, msg, :id => "flash_#{name}" if msg.is_a?(String) %>
  <%- end -%>  

After adding this I was able to see the sign_in failures alert messages :).
