What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?
When validating a String as a boolean, I would expect "true " (with a trailing space) to be validated to be true.
This fails, but I would expect it to succeed:
Joi.boolean().validate('true ')
The handling seems inconsistent with numbers for example, which work as I expect.
Joi.number().validate('123 ')
// gives { value: 123 }
What was the result you got?
{
value: 'true ',
error: [Error [ValidationError]: "value" must be a boolean] {
_original: 'true ',
details: [ [Object] ]
}
}
What result did you expect?
{ value: true }
