- only use MVC error message when `[BindRequired]` is violated
- update that error message to more clearly describe the problem
- enable all tests skipped due to dupe bug #2493
- update expectations of a few tests using the old messages
nits:
- rename `ModelBinding_MissingRequiredMember` to `ModelBinding_MissingBindRequiredMember`
- remove `<param>` description of removed `requiredValidator` parameter
- remove unused `MutableObjectModelBinderTest.GetRequiredValidator()`
- #2456
- visible behaviours now match MVC 5
- prevent `CollectionModelBinder` from converting no value to `byte[0]`
- prevent `TypeConverterModelBinder` from converting empty value to `byte[] { '\0' }`
nit:
- remove additional delegates `ModelBindingTestHelper.GetOperationBindingContext()` calls
- a few left despite #2625 cleanup
- use valid `multipart/form-data` content type; include a `boundary`
- correct expectations of `FormCollection` model binder's operation
- restore tests actually skipped for either of the above reasons
- add more tests with `ModelBindingResult.Model==null` and both `IsModelSet` values
#### Remove test references to Won't Fix bug #2473
- restore #2473 tests; update test expectations
- expect `null` composite results whenever binding fails
#### Restore test skipped due to "#2646"
- that issue does not exist; was likely #2466 or similar fixed bug
#### Rename model binding tests that still mention ReturnsFalse or ReturnsTrue
#### Minor src changes
- remove unused variable and unnecessary nesting in `DefaultControllerActionArgumentBinder`
- remove dangling mention of `[DefaultValue]` in `ComplexModelDtoModelBinder`
#### nits:
- remove empty delegates from some `GetOperationBindingContext` calls; `null` fine
- do some `using` cleanup
- combine two test methods in `KeyValuePairModelBinderTest`
- name a few more arguments
This change treats 'top-level' collection-type models similarly to
top-level POCO model - namely that they will always be instantiated even
if there's no data to put inside.
Also ensures that when a type is marked as skipped, any sub property which is model bound (and hence a modelstate un validated entry),
is marked as skipped (otherwise it would cause the ModelState to be invalid).
Also fixing a bug in model state dictionary FindKeyWithPrefix was not considering [0] & [0][0] as a valid prefix.
The assumption is ModelState should have entries if
1. An error is explicitly added by a model binder.
2. There is validation error reported while validating the model.
3. There is value bound by the model binder.
With this change there should be no extra entry other than for the cases mentioned above.
Also enabling the integration test cases.
Covers simple scenario for each model binder.
Covers scenarios mixing a POCO model binder -> Simple Model binder.
This contains tests for
FormCollectionModelBinder
BinderTypeBasedModelBinder
TypeConverterModelBinder
Remainging:
TypeMatchModelBinder
This also adds missing unit test for TypeMatchModelBinder as well.
Covers simple scenario for each model binder.
Covers scenarios mixing a POCO model binder -> Simple Model binder.
This contains tests for
HeaderModel

ByteArrayModelBinder
FormFileModelBinder
Part 2 Will contain similar tests for
FormCollectionModelBinder
BinderTypeBasedModelBinder
TypeConverterModelBinder
TypeMatchModelBinder
Any leftovers for BodyModelBinder
Consider
public class Person
{
[FromBody]
public Address Address { get; set; }
}
public class Address
{
[Required]
public string Street { get; set; }
public int Zip { get; set; }
}
Request body { "Zip" : 12345 }
In this case the error key would be "prefix.Address.Street" (assuming there is a prefix because of additional metadata/positioning for/of the Person model).
public class Person
{
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public void Action([FromBody]Person p)
{
}
Request body { }
In this case the prefix gets ignored and the error key is Name.
Please note this is so that we are compatible with MVC 5.0
public class Person
{
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public void Action([FromBody][ModelBinder(Name = "prefix")] Person p)
{
}
public void Action2([FromBody][Bind(Name = "prefix")] Person p)
{
}
Request body { }
In both these cases (Action and Action2) the prefix gets ignored and the error key is Name.
This is a slight improvement from mvc, as in MVC the action parameter would be null.
The followup for this would be to fix#2416 -
This PR ignores the validation assuming that #2416 will address the issues and update the test.
NOTE: previous versions of mvc did not have property binding and hence there is no precedence in this case. For MVC and Web API it was possible to body bind an action parameter which used an empty prefix instead of a parameter name for adding errors to model state (In case of MVC if a custom prefix was provided, it failed binding from body i.e the parameter was null).
