Newbie question

[Tim Garver]

Whats up group? Nice to be here.

I love this framework.

I am new to it and going to ask some dumb questions. Hopefully not to dumb

Ok, I am using VT version 1.1 manually init().
I setup my configs and instantiate vt and save it into Di/1 framework like so.

<cfset var validatorconfig = { definitionPath="/thismodel/beans/", JSIncludes=false, resultPath="thismodel.ValidatorResult" }>
<cfset Application.thisFactory.addBean( "Validator", new ValidateThis.ValidateThis( validatorconfig ) )>

This works no issues.
My rules for this bean have 15 rules, each are required.
For a test i already have a bean and have my rules defined for it, my beans all live under the beans folder and have individual sub folders for each of them.
I have test data in my tables. and want to know why this is not working.

I grab an object
<cfset t = new thismodel.beans.volunteers.volunteer()>
<cfset v = t.get(350)>
<cfset vx = Application.thisFactory.getBean("Validator")>
<cfset v.setfname("this")>
<cfset v.setmname("should")>
<cfset v.setlname("fail")>
<cfset vr = vx.validate(theObject=v,context='create,update',debuggingMode='strict')>

If i dump the result memento the failures array is empty and the isSuccess is true.
Do i have to manually set it to false?

I just dont understand why this does not fail.

I have tried getting the bean from the db and creating a new one both give me a success validation. In both cases, the success should be a false because all of the fields in the bean are empty.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You only need to pass in one context. So in your example as you are doing a new "vx" then you'd use the "create" context. Does that help?
