Vue-form-generator: Submit button does not call form validator

  Report a bug

• What is the current behavior?
  Given 'validateBeforeSubmit' is true and form data does not pass validation rules
  When I click submit button, onSubmit function is called

• Demo
  https://jsfiddle.net/nzkm7put/ (please check the result in console)

• What is the expected behavior?
  onSubmit event should not be called

• Please tell us about your environment:

  • Version: 2.3.1
  • Browser: Chrome 69
  • Language: ES6/7

• Other information:

This may look like #434 but I'm using the built in onSubmit method, no form wrapper here so I think it is a different issue.

I have looked into the source code and found the call stack as below:

• fieldSubmit.onClick()
• formGroup.validate() <-- I think the problem is here, this should call the parent's validate() instead of child's one
• abstractField@validate() <-- submit button does not have any validator, of course this will pass, that's why there is no error

Hello @qduc , you seem to know how to fix this, can you do a PR ?
We are all very busy, and that would help us tremendously. Thanks a lot !

[qduc]

Sure, I am glad to help, just want to make sure it is a bug and not an intended behavior.
I will give it a try then.

[lionel-bijaoui]

@qduc Oh, yes, I did not checked (sorry, I'm busy 😅 ).
In your fiddle, not error are triggered. I don't know why.
For the field, there is no problem (even though there should be one).
I'm sorry, I have no time to really look into it.
Can you investigate this absence of error ?

This is likely a bug introduced in 2.3.0 when we split formGenerator up and created formGroup - a lot of code relied on calling the parent.

We should probably inject some sort of “$vfg” property onto all the children for easier access to the main VFG structure?

[lionel-bijaoui]

I don't know, I fixed most of this in the v3, since the structure is no more about calling the parent, but sending event.
I'm sorry about this unforeseen consequence.

@qduc this should be fixed in 2.3.2, can you confirm and close the issue if so?
