First usually form fields are set when you instantiate the form. Like this
querySetForm = ListForm(
fields = [
TextField(name="foo",
validator=validators.String(not_empty=True, max=16)),
FieldSet(fields=[
TextField(name="bar",
validator=validators.String(not_empty=True,
max=16))])
Also I think the validator is not getting attached properly because
the field set needs a name. This should probably cause some sort of
error so maybe that is a bug.
So overall your example should look something like this:
querySetForm = ListForm(
fields = [
TextField(name="foo",
validator=validators.String(not_empty=True, max=16)),
FieldSet(name = "barwrapper", fields=[
TextField(name="bar",
validator=validators.String(not_empty=True,
max=16))])
To take it even further I've found that using widgets.WidgetsList and
validators.Schema make my forms easier to use and debug. So ,although
slightly overkill and wordy, this is the fanciest way to do it:
#Schemas
class BarWrapperSchema(Schema):
bar = String(not_empty=True, max=16)
class QuerySetSchema(Schema):
foo = String(not_empty=True, max=16)
barwrapper = BarWrapperSchema()
#Widgets
class BarWrapperFields(WidgetsList):
bar = TextField()
class QuerySetFields(WidgetsList):
foo = TextField()
barwrapper = FieldSet(fields = BarWrapperFields())
#Form
querySetForm = ListForm(fields=QuerySetFields(), validator=QuerySetSchema())
Tell me if this doesn't make sense or still isn't working for you.
