-activerecord.errors.messages.models.[model_name]
+activerecord.errors.models.[model_name].attributes.[attribute_name]
+activerecord.errors.models.[model_name]

-activerecord.errors.messages.models.user.attributes.name.blank
-activerecord.errors.messages.models.user.blank
+activerecord.errors.models.user.attributes.name.blank
+activerecord.errors.models.user.blank
 activerecord.errors.messages.blank
 </ruby>
