Rails errors doesn't work on controllers? how to handle error then?

Question

I have the following action to confirm a PIN code.

def create
  @confirm = User.where(:email => params[:user][:email]).last
  errors[:base] << "Subscription not found" if @confirm.nil?
  respond_with(@confirm)
end

If the object doesn't exist I'm getting the following error

NameError in ConfirmsController#create

undefined local variable or method `errors' for #<ConfirmsController:0x007f921de173d0>

Why it doesn't recognize errors and how can I handle error for this case?

errors need to be attached to an ActiveModel object

Errors as you are using them are typically on the ActiveRecord model. If you want to display an error message try using the flash method.
