Description:
In previous versions of Drupal, when calling form_set_error() and form_error():
- During validation would prevent submission, mark the offending element, and use
drupal_set_message()to display an error message. - During submission would only use
drupal_set_message()to display an error message, and the element would not be marked in any way.
In Drupal 8, calling form_set_error() and form_error() (now FormStateInterface::setErrorByName() and FormStateInterface::setError(), respectively) will only have an effect during validation.
Calling them during submission will do nothing. Those instances should be replaced by a drupal_set_message() call directly.
