[Bug] NumericValidationBehavior throws an exception
mmiller-d8 opened this issue · comments
Description
In the Maui Community Tookit, the NumericValidationBehavior throws an exception if the entry field is empty.
Looking at the source, the first line in ValidateAsync throws an ArgumentNullException if the value is null. Unless I’m missing something, there’s no way to catch that and it crashes the app.
It should just return false. Ideally, there would be an IsRequired property that would allow it to return true if the value was null or empty.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a page with an entry field.
- Add a NumericValidationBehavior and set the validation behavior to on lose focus
- Tap the entry field and then tap something else to take way it's focus
- Boom. It crashes the app
Expected Behavior
You can leave a field empty without crashing the app
Actual Behavior
It crashes the app
