Rails full error message without attribute

I cannot get rid of the attribute in the error message. (I wonder why this isn't the default behaviour)

Controller

if @item.save
      ...
 else
   format.html { redirect_to [@profile, :items], alert: @item.errors.full_messages}
end

it.yml 

 it:
  errors:
    format: "%{message}"

View.html

<% if alert %>
    <% Array.wrap(alert).each do |msg| %>
        <%=msg%>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

But i get this output

ATTRIBUTE NAME my custom message

You need to enable the feature to allow overriding the error message format, as it is turned off by default.

in config/application.rb

config.active_model.i18n_customize_full_message = true

Then you can customise format either globally, at the model level, or the attribute level. e.g.

it:
  activerecord:
    errors:
      models:
        model_name:
          attributes:
            attribute_name:
              not_a_number: "My custom message"
              greater_than: "My custom message"
              format: "%{message}"

(replace model_name and attribute_name and the validation keys as appropriate).

The i18n-debug gem is also handy for debugging i18n issues.

Use messages instead of full_messages:

@item.errors.messages.values.flatten

As messages returns a hash, where the key shows what's the validation error, you can simply get and flatten all values.

{ :email=>["Another record exists with this email."], ... } # for example
