Xataface Forums

Hi,

Using the current svn for 1.3.x branch (revision 3338), when I try to set that a validator is not required for a field, the field suddenly becomes "mandatory". The following example illustrates:

SQL:
CREATE TABLE `test1` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`x` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`y` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`z` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_cs;

test1/fields.ini:
[id]

[x]

[y]
validators:required=false

[z]

If you try to add a new record in Xataface for table test1, you'll see a little red dot next to field "y" and if you leave it blank, you get an error message. The problem also occurs if you set validators:required to "false", true, "true", 0, 1, "0", or "1".

I believe this is a bug, but perhaps I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work.

Thanks,

Igor

This is a bug.

It has been fixed in SVN including 1.3.x branch so will be included in the next release. The bug report in the link includes the diff.

Steve,

Thanks, but I *am* using the current 1.3.x svn branch, rev 3338. I confirmed that the diffs are included in the version I am using. Yet I still have the bug above.

So I don't believe the bug is fixed.

Sorry,

Igor

Should be fixed for real now in 1.3.x branch rev 3340. The diff can be found at

Steve,

I've updated to rev 3340 and I can confirm that all combinations of validator:required=true/false with fields that allow/don't allow NULLs work correctly now.

Thanks so much.

Igor
