General problem with drupal AJAX requests prevented by clientside validation

We added some extrra code to support AJAX, but apparently it isn't fully tested, see the following commits:
http://drupalcode.org/project/clientside_validation.git/commit/775b481
http://drupalcode.org/project/clientside_validation.git/commit/f71cada
http://drupalcode.org/project/clientside_validation.git/commit/4bf5b2d

If you could try debugging this, that would be awesome, I'll ask Jelle_S to have a look next week as well.

If added a (partial) fix where submit buttons with '#limit_validation_errors' => array() won't trigger clientside validation. This fixes the Rules form you mentioned. I'm not sure how to fix the commerce forms yet.

This problem still occurs on latest dev. I have a simple textfield that triggers an ajax request. The request is never happening untill the clientside validation passes.

Probably caused by http://drupalcode.org/project/clientside_validation.git/blobdiff/8ce6597... can you try removing the Drupal.behaviors.ZZZClientsideValidation and see if the problem still exists.

Removing Drupal.behaviors.ZZZClientsideValidation fixes the problem for me.

@Jelle_S can you add an option to enable/disable this behavior?

The setting has been added and defaults to 'off', as it has been known to cause issues. It was added to support CTools Modal forms, which is more of an edge case than a general case. Because of that it seems like a good idea (to me) to disable it by default.

I had the same problem and removing Drupal.behaviors.ZZZClientsideValidation from the js file worked for me too.

I have removed Drupal.behaviors.ZZZClientsideValidation from js file, worked for me. But, after serverside validation on the page, not getting form_id and my custom submit function is also not working.

I have tried one custom rule for a name field, FAPI + Clientside validation.
I've used the below code, but its not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

// i have used the below code in hook_form_alter()
$form['account']['name']['#prefix'] = array('name_validate');

/**
 * Implements hook_fapi_validation_rules().
 */
function register_hehq_fapi_validation_rules() {   
  return array(
    'name_validate' => array(
     'callback' => 'register_hehq_validation_validate_name',
     'error_msg' => t('test value for %field')
    ),
  );
}

function register_hehq_validation_validate_name($value) {
  if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$/', $value)) {
    return TRUE;
  }
  else {
    return FALSE;
  }
}

/**
 * Implements hook_clientside_validation_rule_alter()
 */
function register_hehq_clientside_validation_rule_alter(&$js_rules, $element, $context) {
  switch ($context['type']) {
    case 'fapi':
      if ($context['rule']['callback'] == 'name_validate') {
       $title = $element['#title'];
       $name = $element['#name'];
       drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'hehq') .'/script.js', 'file');
       $title = variable_get('clientside_validation_prefix', '') . $title .         variable_get('clientside_validation_suffix', '');
 $js_rules[$name]['messages']['notEmpty'] = t('Enter Valid name in !field.', array('!field' => $title));
      }
      break;
  }
}

//jQuery Wrapper
$(document).bind('onblur', function(event){
        jQuery.validator.addMethod("edit-field-user-name-und-0-value", function(value, element, param) {
          //return true if valid, false if invalid
          var regexp = /^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$/
          return regexp.test(value.replace(' ', ''));
          //Enter a default error message.
        }, jQuery.format('Name is not valid'));
});
