The web2py book needs to be updated, as Anthony points out. As suggested I changed the validator to:
class IS_MEMBERSHIP_YEAR_END(Validator): def __init__(self, error_message='Not a membership year end'): self.error_message = error_message def validate(self, value): yearend = datetime.date(2018,9,30) if value.month==yearend.month and value.day==yearend.day: return value else: raise ValidationError(self.translator(self.error_message)) Also added to the model: from gluon.validators import Validator If the entered value was a valid date that passed the test (9/30/nnnn) all was well. However the failure path produced a ticket, it looks as if the raised error is not being caught????
