extra_validators change breaks many many forms

[jwag956]

In 1.1.0 the 'extra_validators' parameter was added as a positional parameter to the form.validate() call, whereas in WTForms and Flask-WTForms.validate_on_submit() it is a keyword parameter.

To reproduce:
Create a form with a validate() method which takes no parameters.

Desired Outcome:
FlaskForms.validate() shouldn't require any positional parameters (and therefore be backwards compatible with prior releases).

Environment:

• Python version:3.9
• Flask-WTF version:1.1.0
• Flask version:2.2.2

Hmm - this is certainly going to break a lot of things, and it won't be easy to have extensions/apps that work with both 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 - but I see the utility in the change and not sure a better way to do this....

[jwag956]

Sorry - confusing myself - yes this is an issue with I believe a very simple fix:

return self.is_submitted() and self.validate(extra_validators)

should be:
return self.is_submitted() and self.validate(extra_validators=extra_validators)

@jwag956 Yeah, this is also a problem in pgadmin with the following error when user clicks login button. (pgadmin-org/pgadmin4@e0b670f)
loginForm.validate() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

When I reflect on your code, then it works! (w/ @chlrlrhs95)
Can I open PR to that?
I would like to fix that asap.

Can I open PR to that?

Sure! Go on and I will try to release 1.1.1 tonight.

[HwangTaehyun]

Oh, sorry... I re-test but it does not fix the error.

[jwag956]

That simple fix worked for me (i.e. Flask-Security-Too unit tests now pass).

[HwangTaehyun]

@jwag956 Could you give me some advice?
I changed that code on flask wtf 1.1.0 but it throws error like the following.

{"success":0,"errormsg":"LoginForm.validate() got an unexpected keyword argument 'extra_validators'","info":"","result":null,"data":null}

Why does keyword passing not working in my case (for pgadmin4==6.19 with fixed flask-wtf 1.1.0 which was fixed with this change)

wtforms receive exactly same name: extra_validators..

[jwag956]

They added 'extra_validators' in 1.1.0 - to validate_on_submit - but didn't pass that as a keyword param to validate
So this fix is to 1.1.0 only - 1.0.1 doesn't have this issue (and should work just fine)
