Validation errors not showing up on the top of signup and login form

[rajbukhariya12]

if I don't satisfy the validation requirement in the signup form, It doesn't redirect to the next page and 3-4 line gap comes right below my signup and login form heading tags. This means my errors are coming on the top of signup and login form but it is not visible may be some color issues or something.

Please help me fix the issue. i want the validation errors should be dispalyed on top on both the forms

This is my main server.js file

const express = require('express');
const app = express();


const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose
  .connect(
    "mongodb+srv://mongoDB313:mongoDB313@sit313cluster.j1mdh.mongodb.net/userdetails?retryWrites=true&w=majority",
    { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true }
  )
  .then(() => console.log('MongoDB is Connected successsfully'))
  .catch(err => console.log(err));


const expressLayouts = require('express-ejs-layouts');
app.use(expressLayouts);
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

const passport = require('passport');
require('./config/passport')(passport);

const flash = require('connect-flash');
const session = require('express-session');

app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));


app.use(
  session({
    secret: 'secret',
    resave: true,
    saveUninitialized: true
  })
);


app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());


app.use(flash());


app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.locals.success_msg = req.flash('success_msg');
  res.locals.error_msg = req.flash('error_msg');
  res.locals.error = req.flash('error');
  next();
});


app.use('/', require('./routes/main.js'));
app.use('/indiviual', require('./routes/indiviual.js'));

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.listen(PORT, console.log(`Server started on port `${PORT}`));`

This is my partial ejs file

<% if(typeof errors != 'undefined'){ %> <% errors.forEach(function(error) { %>
<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <%= error.msg %>
  <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
  </button>
</div>
<% }); %> <% } %> <% if(success_msg != ''){ %>
<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <%= success_msg %>
  <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
  </button>
</div>
<% } %> <% if(error_msg != ''){ %>
<div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <%= error_msg %>
  <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
  </button>
</div>
<% } %> <% if(error != ''){ %>
<div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <%= error %>
  <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
  </button>
</div>
<% } %>

Suffering from same issue...

Can you attach the actual login page ejs file?

[jack-hags]

make sure you have:

<% include ./partials/messages %>

above the form tag on the login/signup page

[sandip2224]

Can you try replacing the "data-dismiss" attribute with "data-bs-dismiss" inside the messages.js file and see if it works or not?
