Ok I've fixed it: https://github.com/web2py/web2py/pull/1294
And now I hate you guys with a tremendous passion. It took me a huge amount of time for a fix that ended up being a oneliner. html.py is horrible, Cthulhu level horrible, it couldn't be harder to follow its execution flow if it had goto statements and afterwards you minified it. To understand the bug first you need to look at the _validate method of the INPUT helper. Then you also need sqlhtml.py and see that it sets some default validators Then look dal.py where those defaults are defined (no it's not inside the pydal package) Then you need to really understand the IS_EMPTY_OR validator which thankfully I do because I have been making tests for validators. Someone please contribute to the book how important the null argument is to IS_EMPTY_OR because otherwise you're getting a None which will be a NULL in the database since IS_EMPTY_OR doesn't know what kind of field it's dealing with. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
