[RUBY] When submitting form, no error message is displayed even though validation failed

When I created a form using form_with in Ruby on Rails and submitted the input contents, I got caught in the validation of the model and it was rendered, but the error message that should be displayed did not appear, so that I will introduce the cause.

Wrong code

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @post = Post.new
  end

  def create
    @post = Post.new(post_params)
    if @post.save
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      @post = Post.new  #I was calling new before rendering
      render "new"
    end
  end

  private

  def post_params
    params.require(:post).permit(:content)
  end
end

Cause

The cause was that save failed and @post = Post.new was written before rendering. If there is an error message for @post, it will be displayed, but if you add Post.new to @post, it will return to the same state as before the error occurred, so the error message will be displayed. It was in a state where it was not done.

So I solved it by deleting one line. I don't think I would make such a mistake now, but ... It ’s a mistake I made when I started studying.
