Answer 1

You need to use it like this:

{{ $errors->getBag('default')->first('name') }}

Answer 2

Probably another issue would be with $errors not being saved to Session variable $errors and nothing being shown in the view.

Here is an example of the same issue: http://laravel.io/forum/03-28-2016-errors-variable-empty-after-failed-validation

For me the solution defined in the above link worked. Solution: Is in app\Http\Kernel.php Move \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, from $middlewareGroups to $middleware

Before

After

Answer 3

    Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function() {
    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
    });

Add middleware, and resolved..

Answer 4

If you get nothing in your case, than it means you have overridden your $errors object with something else or with empty object - check your code and data you pass to the views. Your code is perfectly valid and works good - I've tested it locally. Maybe, you passed empty $errors object to your subview, but in other views the correct object is used.

I was having the same problem with Laravel 8.0

The only way I could solve this was by entering the error bags layer by layer until I got to the messages manually:

@if (count($errors->getBags()))
    <div class="alert alert-danger">
        <ul>
            @foreach ($errors->getBags() as $bag)
                @foreach ($bag->getMessages() as $messages)
                    @foreach ($messages as $message)
                        <li>{{ $message }}</li>
                    @endforeach
                @endforeach
            @endforeach
        </ul>
    </div>
@endif
