Hi yes, realized my mistake.

Have made the changes https://github.com/resting/cakephp/commit/ce2ffa4300f59720566a85db0b5ced5d4b96a117

But the result is still the same...weird...

have you ever seen validates() taking arguments? especially $data? nope

$this->Model->set($this->request->data)

$result = $this->Model->validates()

as the book describes

Created a test setup with v2.2.0

Validation doesn't work.

Empty fields still pass.

What am I doing wrong here?

I have something like this in my view:

echo $this->Form->input('Modelname.1.fieldname');

(ref: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html#field-naming-conventions)

I have this in my model:

public $validate = array(          'filename' => array('ruleFilenameEmpty' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty', 'required' => true, 'allowEmpty' => false, 'last' => true)));

This is the structure of $this->request->data:

array(      'Capture' => array(          (int) 0 => array(              'filename' => '',          )      )  )

But it always return a validation error, whether there's text in the textfield or not:

array(      'filename' => array(          (int) 0 => 'ruleFilenameEmpty'      )  )

(printed from debug($this->Capture->validationErrors))

Tested the validation with:

$this->Capture->set($this->request->data);  if ($this->Capture->saveAll($this->request->data)) {      $this->Session->setFlash('<span style="color: red">' . __('It validates') . '</span>');  }

I had tried all possible names for the validation. None works.

What am I doing wrong here?

Also I would like to validate each set of fields in $this->request->data before saving.

This is because there are some others to be done after it validates.
If the action fails, it should not save.
This cannot be done with saveAll().

How can I evaluate each set of arrays in $this->request->data before saving?
