title: Laravel 5.2 not showing form validation errors
body: <p>This is weird. I've been googling all day trying to find a solution for my problem and most of solutions don't work for me due to different versions or different request - controller handling.</p>
  
  <p>What's happening is this.</p>
  
  <p>I have a form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
      Name *
      {!! Form::text('name', '', ['class'=&gt;'form-control', 'placeholder'=&gt;'Required field']) !!}
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And a Request:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class ContactFormRequest extends Request
  {
  
      public function authorize()
      {
          return true;
      }
  
  
      public function rules()
      {
          return [
              'name' =&gt; 'required|max:64',
              'email' =&gt; 'required|email|max:128',
              'message' =&gt; 'required|max:1024',
          ];
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm leaving the name field blank so it fails validation, and it should return to the contact form page and show the errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@if(count($errors) &gt; 0)
          &lt;div class="alert alert-danger"&gt;
              &lt;ul&gt;
              @foreach($errors-&gt;all() as $error)
                  &lt;li&gt;{{ $error }}&lt;/li&gt;
              @endforeach
              &lt;/ul&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  @endif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It shows nothing! If I <code>vardump</code> the <code>$errors</code> variable, I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>object(Illuminate\Support\ViewErrorBag)[161]
    protected 'bags' =&gt; 
      array (size=0)
        empty
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I fill the form field properly it successfully sends me to the success page and everything works perfect. All I need now is to make this error thing work properly :S</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
