Are you using this with Zend_Form? If so, was the element to which the
validator was attached marked required?
I took the above and did the following:
class CustomValidator extends Zend_Validate_Abstract
{
const ERROR = 'error';
protected $_messageTemplates = array(
self::ERROR => "%value% must be less than what has been issued"
);
public function isValid($value, $context = null)
{
$this->_error(self::ERROR);
return false;
}
}
$v = new CustomValidator();
if ($v->isValid('foo')) {
echo 'should not validate!';
} else {
echo "Failed validation.\n";
echo var_export($v->getMessages(), 1), "\n";
}
And got the the correct output:
Failed validation.
array (
'error' => ' must be less than what has been issued',
)
so most likely the calling code is not actually calling the validator.
