ModelState Errormessage is Empty in Web API
Following is the Model class that I use for the application
public class APIVesselFilter
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Vessel is required")]
public Guid VesselID { get; set; }
public Guid? AnchorageID { get; set; }
}
Following is the Validation Filter that will check if the ModelState is Valid and if not valid I will send the error message.
public class ValidateModelAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
if (actionContext.ModelState.IsValid == false)
{
List<string> errorList = new List<string>();
foreach (var err in actionContext.ModelState.Values)
{
foreach (var er in err.Errors)
{
errorList.Add(er.ErrorMessage);
}
}
actionContext.Response = actionContext.Request.CreateResponse(APIResponse.SendResponse(RequestStatus.GetValidationFailedMessage(), actionContext.ModelState));
}
}
}
Here, Following is the response that I get using the above Model State. Over here the error message is not in a user understandable way and so I have added the ErrorMessage in Require attribute of Vessel and I loop through the errors in ModelState. But my error message is always empty (I checked this using a debugger). What am I missing here so that the error message will be bound directly to the ModelState?

Try decorating your model property with a DisplayAttribute :
public class APIVesselFilter
{
[Required]
[Display(Name="Vessel is required")]
public Guid VesselID { get; set; }
public Guid? AnchorageID { get; set; }
}
I know this is the way to customise your messages when using the Html.ValidationSummary and a quick test showed this comes up when inspecting the ModelState in an action.
using CreateErrorResponse instead of CreateResponse might solve your problem. I faced a smiliar problem and was fixed with that. In your case this will be
actionContext.Response = actionContext.Request.CreateErrorResponse(APIResponse.SendResponse(RequestStatus.GetValidationFailedMessage(), actionContext.ModelState));
