Django REST Framework Serializer Validation Not Triggering for Nested Fields
I've been researching this but I need some guidance on I'm a bit lost with I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm dealing with I'm dealing with I'm testing a new approach and I tried several approaches but none seem to work....... I'm working with an scenario where the validation for nested fields in my Django REST Framework (DRF) serializer doesn’t seem to trigger when I send invalid data. I have a parent serializer that includes a nested child serializer, and I expect the validation to unexpected result if any of the child fields are invalid. However, the parent serializer passes validation even when the child data is incorrect. Here’s what my serializers look like: ```python from rest_framework import serializers class ChildSerializer(serializers.Serializer): name = serializers.CharField(required=True) age = serializers.IntegerField(min_value=0) class ParentSerializer(serializers.Serializer): title = serializers.CharField(required=True) children = ChildSerializer(many=True) ``` And this is how I'm using it in my view: ```python from rest_framework.views import APIView from rest_framework.response import Response from rest_framework import status class ParentView(APIView): def post(self, request): serializer = ParentSerializer(data=request.data) if serializer.is_valid(): return Response(serializer.validated_data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) ``` When I send the following JSON to the endpoint: ```json { "title": "My Family", "children": [ {"name": "John", "age": -5}, {"name": "Jane"} ] } ``` I would expect the validation to unexpected result because the age for John is invalid, but instead, I receive a 201 response, and the data is processed without any errors. I have tried adding `required=True` to the `age` field in the `ChildSerializer`, but that doesn’t seem to help. I also checked if the serializer was correctly nested in the parent serializer but to no avail. What could be going wrong here? Is there a special way to handle validations for nested serializers in DRF that I might be missing? This is on Django 3.2 and DRF 3.12. This is part of a larger application I'm building. How would you solve this? Any ideas how to fix this? Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm working in a macOS environment. Am I approaching this the right way? This is my first time working with Python latest. This is my first time working with Python 3.10. Is there a better approach?
