Hi. I am facing a very annoying problem. I am writing an API to which users can post data. Upon receiving data, I try to save the objects to their appropriate model. Of course, the supplied objects can be invalid, so I have a try-catch statement around the save method, that throws an exception.

All of this works. But I really can't seem to find a way to get the actual validation errors out, so I can send them back in a proper way to the user. All I can output, it the Orm\ValidationFailed exception, which contains a bunch of formatted html with the errors inside. I need the errors without the html, just the raw error data.

Has anyone already succeeded at doing this? This is my code:

The fieldset is passed back in the exception. You can access it on the exception object using the get_fieldset() method. Using the fieldset, you can access the corresponding validation object, which in turn gives you access to the errors.

public function add_lead(Model_Lead $lead)
{
    try 
    {
        $lead->save();
    } 
    catch(Orm\ValidationFailed $e) 
    {
        // returns the individual ValidationError objects
        $errors = $e->get_fieldset()->validation()->error();
    }
}

On a ValidationError object you can access the properties "field", "value", "rule", "params" with info on what exactly failed, and get_message(), which will return the corresponding error message.

That is what I tried in my code snippet, but the $e->get_fieldset()->validation() returns NULL :(

And what does $e->get_fieldset() return?
