Mulitple validation of a single property

Hi,

I’m using FluentValidation in my WebAPI service and after upgrading the packages from 7.0.0-beta2 to 7.0.0, a following problem arised.

Take a look at a simplified scenario:

class A
{ }

class B
{
   public A A { get; set; }
}

class AValidator : AbstractValidator<A>
{ }

class BValidator : AbstractValidator<B>
{
   BValidator ()
   {
      this.RuleFor(o => o.A).SetValidator(new AValidator());
   }
}

Both validators are registered in the Unity container (instance of A can also be a controller method parameter):

container.RegisterType<IValidator<A>, AValidator>();
container.RegisterType<IValidator<B>, BValidator>();

Validating B results in executing the AValidator twice and giving duplicated validation results.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I’ve pushed 7.0.1 to nuget which contains a new property on the FluentValidationModelValidatorProvider called DisableDiscoveryOfPropertyValidators. If you set this to true then you’ll get the 6.4 behaviour back. Please give it a try.

Great, glad it’s working!
