Joi: Joi doesn't validate `allow()`

Context

• node version: 7.10.0
• joi version: 10.5.0
• environment (node, browser): browser
• used with (hapi, standalone, ...): -
• any other relevant information: -

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce ?

Joi doesn't validate the following object correctly:

const Joi = require('joi');

const activities = ['active', 'inactive'];

const routeSchema = {
  query: Joi.object({
    activity: Joi.any().allow(activities),
  }),
};

const query = { activity: '2' };
const result = Joi.validate({ query }, routeSchema);

// it should be invalid
console.log(result);

Which result you had ?

{ error: null, .. }

What did you expect ?

{ error: <error>, .. }

What Joi.any().allow(activities) means is that activity can be of any type and also allow 'active' and 'inactive'.
If you want to say only allow 'active' and 'inactive' try Joi.string().only(['active', 'inactive'])
