Bug #5445 for Data-FormValidator: failure using object for data to check()

Subject:

failure using object for data to check()

First, the code that was failing: my $q = $self->query; # CGI object via CGI::Application my $profile = {required=>[qw(note)]}; my $dfv = Data::FormValidator->new({}, $self->param('dfv_defaults') ); my $r = $dfv->check($q, $profile); The problem I'm experiencing is that only occasionally do this actually work! :-) The validation succeeded, but yet the required field ("note") was blank. When I passed a hashref of data to check({$q->Vars}) it worked 100%. I didn't debug within D::FV::Results, but it seems as if the CGI object data was not getting populated. I want to say I'm really looking forward to using this module! The built-in functionality is super, and customization looks pretty easy. I've got the glue completed in my CGI::Application super class (based on CGI::Application::ValidateRM) so using it going forward should be a breeze. Versions: Data::FormValidator: 3.50 CGI.pm: 2.77 perl 5.005_003 Apache/1.3.22 mod_perl/1.26 Linux 2.2.14-5.0smp #1 SMP

Could you see if this fixes it for you? http://mark.stosberg.com/Data-FormValidator-3.51_1.tar.gz There's a couple new test cases for this in the t/17* test. It seems the issue is not mod_perl specific. However, something is happening in that environment so that the CGI object is altered slightly after the first request, triggering the behavior. If you start your modperl server with -X (good for debugging, not production), it should be triggered after loading and re-loading the page once. Show quoted text

It looks like there are some other modperl enhancements since this version. You might consider upgrading. Show quoted text

Wow. I'm surprised DFV works at all with Perll 5.5. :) Mark -- http://mark.stosberg.com/

BTW, this fixes the problem I had earlier. You can close this ticket.
