add

v3.2.1 - Show latest stable - 2 notes - Class: ActiveModel::Errors

add(attribute, message = nil, options = {}) public

Adds message to the error messages on attribute. More than one error can be added to the same attribute. If no message is supplied, :invalid is assumed.

If message is a symbol, it will be translated using the appropriate scope (see translate_error). If message is a proc, it will be called, allowing for things like Time.now to be used within an error.

      message = normalize_message(attribute, message, options)
      if options[:strict]
        raise ActiveModel::StrictValidationFailed,  message
      end

      self[attribute] << message
    end

More on add_to_base

Actually, use

model_instance.errors.add :base, :invalid

to have I18n working.
