Conditional Validation with "sometimes" fails on empty array

[JeanLucEsser]

The title is self-explanatory.

Applying the following rule on an empty array [] passes validation:
sometimes|required

It should fail as the same rule correctly fails for a null value or an empty string.

Can you share the attribute name?

'users.*.username' => 'sometimes|required'

[JeanLucEsser]

I didn't mean on an array of values, but on an empty array as a value.

Say you test the following attribute: task => []

The rule 'task' => 'required' correctly fails.
The rule 'task' => 'sometimes|required' passes but should fail.

This test currently passes:

$trans = $this->getRealTranslator();
$v = new Validator($trans, ['name' => []], ['name' => 'sometimes|required']);
$this->assertFalse($v->passes());

[JeanLucEsser]

Fair enough. The plot thickens.

This test currently fails:

$trans = $this->getRealTranslator();
$v = new Validator($trans, ['foo' => ['bar' => []]], ['foo.bar' => 'sometimes|required']);
$this->assertFalse($v->passes());

Looks like the issue arises only with nested arrays of values.

It's fixed, will be working as expected as of the next patch release.

Great, thanx, closing the issue then.
Best.
