In reference to this thread:

Does 1.8 already have a validation system that returns a nested fieldset when setting a nested array?

Currently in ORM 1.8, when saving a model after setting it with an array with child arrays, saving works fine, but the validation seems to return the fields of only one of either a child or the parent model that has been changed.

It would be ideal if the

get_fieldset()

method of the caught exception would contain a nested array that contains all the fields, in the base model or any of its children, that did not pass validation.


Example

I have two models:

 class Model_User extends \Orm\Model
{
    protected static $_observers = array('Orm\\Observer_Validation' => array(
        'events' => array('before_save')
    ));  
    
    protected static $_properties = array(
        'id', 
        'username', 
        'password',
        'group',
        'email' => [
            'validation' => ['required', 'valid_email', 'max_length' => [255]]
        ]
    );

and

class Model_Contact extends \Orm\Model
{
    protected static $_observers = array('Orm\\Observer_Validation' => array(
        'events' => array('before_save')
    ));

    protected static $_properties = array(
        'id',
        'title',
        'user_id',
        'locale',
        'street',
        'house_number',
        'zipcode',
        'city',
        'country',
        'telephone' => [
            'validation' => ['min_length' => [10]]
        ],
        'mobile',
        'email' => [
            'validation' => ['required', 'valid_email', 'max_length' => [255]]
        ]
    );

I have the following put handler:

        
        $user->set(\Input::json()); // Now works due to recent fix in 1.8 version of ORM!

        try {
            $user->save();
        } catch (Orm\ValidationFailed $e) {
            foreach ($e->get_fieldset()->validation()->error() as $field => $error) {
                echo "Error: " . $error->__toString() . " ";
            }
        }

When I PUT the following payload:

{"id":"2","username":"leo","group":"2","email":"foo","contact":{"title":"Leo Leeghte","street":"Westersingel","housenumber":"","city":"Rotterdam","zipcode":"3011 BG","country":"Nederland","telephone":"123","mobile":"0612345678","email":"bar","locale":"en_US"}}

(note that there is invalid info in the email field in the user model but also in the email field in the contact model, and additionally there is invalid info in the telephone field in the contact model)

I currently get the following echo's:

Error: The field telephone has to contain at least 10 characters. 
Error: The field email must contain a valid email address.

It would be great if there was a way to get validation errors for all invalid fields.
