Bug with groups/validation

Archived from the Xataface Users forum.

This is Dataface 0.5.4 under XAMPP on Windows XP SP2.

Attributes bearing validators, e.g.,
validators:required = true
validators:minlength = 1
will not get validated if they are contained in a group.

To reproduce:

• Define a table with two attributes foo and bar
• Define validators for foo and bar
• Put foo into a group FooGroup, bar remains ungrouped
• Edit a record
• Leaving foo empty will be allowed, leaving bar empty not.

Thanks for the bug report. For future bug reports, please add them to the issue tracker at http://framework.weblite.ca/development/issue-tracker/.

This particular bug has been fixed in 0.6… i didn’t realize I was going to take so long to release 0.6 so I didn’t fix it in 0.5.x, because the fix was a little bit involved.
