->passes() and ->fails() both return true simultaneously

[jmp909]

$captchaValidator = \Validator::make(Input::all(), ['g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha']);
echo("passes:" .$captchaValidator->passes(). ", fails:".$captchaValidator->fails());

both return 1.

I can just check ->passes() to get around it, but ->fails() should not return 1?

maybe related to:
#38

thanks

calling ->passes() twice gives false on second result

echo($captchaValidator->passes()); // true
echo($captchaValidator->passes()); // false  (->fails() would be true here therefore)

Humm, maybe by fault of laravel validator. I try test with required rule and add var_dump(1) in Illuminate\Validation\Validator::validateRequired and get same error.

I will try to ask the laravel/framework see why!

Thanks for report!

It's not Laravel validator. I ran tests outside Laravel and found that when you validate same response ('g-recaptcha-response') after initial success, all other attempts will return success false.

$VERIFY_URL = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify';
$peer_key = version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.6.0', '<') ? 'CN_name' : 'peer_name';
$query['secret'] = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
$query['response'] = $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'];

$context = stream_context_create(array(
    'http' => array(
        'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
        'method' => 'POST',
        'content' => http_build_query($query, '', '&'),
        'verify_peer' => true,
        $peer_key => 'www.google.com',
    ),
));
$response = file_get_contents($VERIFY_URL, false, $context);
print_r(json_decode($response, true));  
/* Array
(
    [success] => 1
    [challenge_ts] => 2016-10-14T19:13:07Z
    [hostname] => localsecure.example.com
) */

$response = file_get_contents($VERIFY_URL, false, $context);
print_r(json_decode($response, true));
/* Array
(
    [success] => 
    [challenge_ts] => 2016-10-14T19:13:07Z
    [hostname] => localsecure.example.com
) */

$response = file_get_contents($VERIFY_URL, false, $context);
print_r(json_decode($response, true)); // sucess = 
/* Array
(
    [success] => 
    [challenge_ts] => 2016-10-14T19:13:07Z
