How to specify custom form validation error messages in symfony 2.5?

Question

I need to return custom error messages from form validation instead of Symfony's default 'This values is not valid'. I tried a few things on the validation.yml file with properties but could not accomplish this. Has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks

Constraints usually have the message option. You would use it like this:

Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Author:
    properties:
        firstName:
            - NotNull:
                message: Whatever!

Update

In the case of a choice constraint, there's more than one message option (documentation).

For example, if the multiple option is set to true you would use multipleMessage:

Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Author:
    properties:
        styles:
            - Choice: { choices: [novel, haiku], multiple: true, multipleMessage: Whatever! }

Yeah I tried that but it did not work for whatever reason. The validation just ignored it. I was trying to do it for a 'choice' type. I had to add it in the form itself using the 'invalid_message' attribute.

The Valid constraint unfortunately does not have the message option.
