Hi, We are running into what we think is a bug with monorail validation. Essentially, we need to submit and save several instances of the same type in one go.
We are using arrays, but the validation doesn't seem to be working. We think we have found the issue going through the code and running some tests. Basically, the DataBinder successfully binds the array and fills a dictionary with the instances of the array and their ErrorSummary. The problem is that, because the Controller uses its own dictionary for storing validation errors, when it tries to get the errors for the array from the binder, it uses the array reference instead of individual instances, nothing is found in the Binder dictionary and the validation passes as if there were no errors. We have thought of some options to fix this problem. We could change the code to copy the whole dictionary of validation errors from the binder, which we would not like to do as it probably breaks the design between Controller and Binder. We could also try to use the array instance as a key in the binder dictionary, but have not looked into what implications this would have when rendering the response. Finally, we could modify the controller to ask for the individual entries of the array after it has been bound. We would like to help fix this with a patch, but would appreciate some pointers on the best way to solve the issue. This would seem to be a very common use of the framework and we were wondering if it is a design decision to validate instances separately or if it is common practice.
