Validation won't stop set

[pkhodaveissi]

backbone validate does not stop set from setting the attribute, what should I do to make it do so? isValid shows the correct result( which is false)...

var Person = Backbone.Model.extend({ defaults: { name: 'John Doe', age: 30, occupation: 'worker' },

validate: function(attrs) {
    if ( attrs.age < 0 ) {  
        return 'Age Must Be POSITIVE';
    }
},

work: function () {
    return this.get('name') + ' is working.';
}

});

As mentioned in the validate section passing {validate: true} into the options for set will do the trick - validate is only defaulted on save.

[pkhodaveissi]

isn't the default for the validate(attr, option) is that the option is "validate: true" ?

[tgriesser]

No, it's only defaulted to true on save - otherwise you need to say this.set(attrs, {validate: true})

That was changed as of 0.9.10: http://backbonejs.org/#changelog
