Django 1.3.1 Python 2.7.1 I'm attempting to subclass RegexValidator in my app's validators.py to supply specific 'regex' and 'message' attributes and finding that the field validation I'm attempting does not work. I figure I don't quite understand how to subclass this validator correctly, or else how to implement it as a callable for the 'validators' parameter:
# app_name/validators.py from django.core.validators import RegexValidator class PayloadValidator(RegexValidator): regex = 'x' message = u'Valid payload strings contain the letter "x"' # app_name/models.py from app_name import validators class Configuration(models.Model): payload = models.CharField(max_length=64, help_text="Text string to match in health check signature", validators=[validators.PayloadValidator]) ... But when I submit the form, the Configuration instance validates and saves if I enter 'abc' as a value. The following use of URLValidator in my models appears to work correctly, and I had figured I used these validators in the same manner: reference_url = models.URLField(verbose_name="reference URL", blank=True, help_text="(Optional) Reference URL", validators=[URLValidator]) Here, entering "foo" into the field for reference_url outputs a validation error on the form if I enter "foo". What am I missing? Thanks. -- Darren Spruell phatbuck...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
