Hi Matt,
I tried out your scenario, and I think I found the problem. In my
test, it also validated when I left the friendEmail field blank. It
seems that the value of friendEmail is not null, but an empty string.
To solve the problem, I added another clause to check for String
length. After that, it triggered the field error as desired. This is
what worked for me.
<validators>
<field name="friendEmail">
<field-validator type="fieldexpression">
<param name="expression">reason == 'friend' and
friendEmail != null and friendEmail.trim().size() > 0</param>
<message>Please provide your friend's email</message>
</field-validator>
</field>
</validators>

If you're right, I'd expect the following expression make friendEmail
required when the "friend" reason is checked (it's a radio button):
reason == 'friend' and friendEmail != null
However, if I check friend and don't fill out the e-mail address,
it still
passes validation. Based on the error message I'm getting in my
logs (see
below), I'm guessing that I need to do some sort of "friendEmail !=
null"
check, but I'm already doing that.
