Yii2: javascript form validation trigger the form submition

[massimans]

trying to validate a form with javascript with

$('#order-form').data('yiiActiveForm').submitting = true;
$('#order-form').yiiActiveForm('validate');

when form is

<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(['id' => 'order-form', 'layout' => 'horizontal']); ?>
// somme fields
<?php ActiveForm::end() ?>

i expect the form to just validate the fields show error messages if any, but instead the form is submited

@massimans can you try code from current master branch?

[massimans]

@samdark same behavior in master for me, i will try to see whats going on in the javascript code

[massimans]

apparently yiiActiveForm.validate() calls updateInputs() witch will submit the form if you you set submitting to true an no error found in the form

[samdark]

What if you'll set it to false or omit it?

[massimans]

both cases no validation at all, input dont turn red or green an no event triggred
checked with

$('#order-form').on('afterValidate', function(e) {
console.log('afterValidate')
})
$('#order-form').on('beforeValidate', function(e) {
console.log('beforeValidate')
})
$('#order-form').on('beforeValidateAttribute', function(e) {
console.log('beforeValidateAttribute')
})

Thank you for the report, fixed

The issue is reopened now because the fix contained a regerssion

@SilverFire The bug appears again, I use dev-master version. In 2.0.12, 'validate' method doesn't work instead. Anyway, correct using of this method is impossible right now, isn't it?

I think problem is in this code:

if (forceValidate) {
    $(this).data('yiiActiveForm').submitting = true;
}

It isn't necessary to submit form if I want just validate all its fields.
