I am trying to return errors back to my view, this is part of my controller TestcategoryController
$rules =array(
\'name\' => \'required\'
Probably another issue would be with $errors not being saved to Session variable $errors and nothing being shown in the view.
Here is an example of the same issue: http://laravel.io/forum/03-28-2016-errors-variable-empty-after-failed-validation
For me the solution defined in the above link worked.
Solution: Is in app\Http\Kernel.php
Move
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, from $middlewareGroups to $middleware

After
