injectTranslator is called to early

[jscssphtml]

In Line 141 of /src/ValidatorPluginManager.php a new Initializer is added by the line:

    $this->addInitializer([$this, 'injectTranslator']);

after parent::__construct() is called. Which means, that on creation of a new validator the method `injectTranslator()' is called before the closure:

    $this->addInitializer(function ($instance) use ($self) {
        if ($instance instanceof ServiceLocatorAwareInterface) {
            $instance->setServiceLocator($self);
        }
    });

of the AbstractPluginManager is called.

But since the injectTranslator method needs the serviceLocator and the serviceLocator isn't injected at this point of time, the result of $this->getServiceLocator() in injectTranslator will always be null. And that's why there will be never a translator injected.

But since the injectTranslator method needs the serviceLocator and the serviceLocator isn't injected at this point of time, the result of $this->getServiceLocator() in injectTranslator will always be null. And that's why there will be never a translator injected.

The code you are referring to adds initializers, it does not execute them at that point. This is what happens:

• Zend\ServiceManager\AbstractPluginManager::__construct is called and adds an initializer which sets the ServiceLocator (so it does not run that code at that point)
• after that Zend\Validator\ValidatorPluginManager adds the injectTranslator initializer on line 141

The initializers are executed in the same order they are added and thus the ServiceLocator is set before the translator is injected.

@jscssphtml Is this (still) an issue? If so could you provide a simple reproducing test case to demonstrate it?
