Validation Always Print Error Message

I had the same problem and thought it was its normal way of working while it checks if validation has passed and if not, shows the form. "If not" meaning there are errors. To solve this I added in my controller function

PHP Code:

$data['isPost'] = $this->request->getMethod()=='post'; 


And then in the html where I show the errors

Code:

<?php if($isPost) echo service('validation')->listErrors() ?>

That way only when the form is sent (if actually sent through post) will the errors show. If there is a better way, I'd be glad to hear it.
