Rails - Aug 2012 - validates_format_of :message not working, validates_length_of :message is working

I''m using validates_format_of and the validation I want to do works,
but I
can''t get an error message to be displayed if the data is invalid:
validates_format_of :mobile, :with => /\A[\+0-9]+\Z/, :message => " -
Wrong"

I have another validation some where else that does display the error 
message: " - Name is too long"
validates_length_of :name, :within => 5..40, :too_long => " - Name is
too
long",

validates_length_of :name, :within => 1..50, :message =>
"Broken"  *<------
This also works but not for validates_format_of*

Any ideas?
Thanks.

You say that you have an example of validates_length_of "somewhere
else" that /does/ work.  Are you sure that it is not the "somewhere
else" that is significant.  Try replacing the validates_length_of that
is working with a validates_format_of and see if you then get the
message.  Also try replacing the format validation that does not show
the error with a validates_length_of.

I tried what you suggested and I got the error message with 
validates_format_of where validates_length_of worked, and length_of
didn''t
work where my format_of wasn''t working. So it looks like the
"somwhere
else" is significant, but I cant see any obvious differences between the 
two models, any suggestions?

Thanks for the help Colin.

I fixed it, I was missing an <error-messages> tag in my edit code for the 
page that was not working.
