Hello!

I managed a similar case by using custom validations:

let opts = {
  custom: {
    my_select_valiadator: function ($el) {
      if($el.val() == "" ) {
        return "please select something!";     
     }
  }
};
$("select").validate(opts);

and then add to your inspected select element the attribute "data-my_select_validator="my_select_validator"

Greetings
