I am working in CakePHP 3.2. I have users table and register action in UsersController.
I'm trying to add a new record but default validation is not working.
This is my 'UsersTable.php`
<?php
namespace App\Model\Table;
use App\Model\Entity\User;
use Cake\ORM\Query;
use Cake\ORM\RulesChecker;
use Cake\ORM\Table;
use Cake\Auth\DefaultPasswordHasher;

{
/**

public function initialize(array $config)
{
parent::initialize($config);
$this->table('users');
$this->displayField('name');
$this->primaryKey('id');
$this->addBehavior('Timestamp');
$this->hasMany('UserAddresses', [
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
]);
}
/**
* Default validation rules.
*
* @param \Cake\Validation\Validator $validator Validator instance.
* @return \Cake\Validation\Validator

public function validationDefault(Validator $validator)

}
return false;

])
->notEmpty('password1');

'rule' => ['minLength', 6],

register() method
public function register()
{
// if already logged in, redirect to referer action to prevent new registration
if (!empty($this->Auth->user('id'))) {
return $this->redirect($this->referer());
}
$user = $this->Users->newEntity();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
// check user exists or not

'conditions' => [
'OR' => [
'email' => $this->request->data['email'],

]);
if ($userExists->count() > 0) {
$userExists = $userExists->first();
$this->Flash->success(__('It seems you are already registered. Please login using your email or mobile and passowrd'));
return $this->redirect(['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'login']);
}
$hash = hash('sha256',date('YmdHis').time());
$user->tmp_hash = $hash;
$user->verified = 0;
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->data);
if ($u = $this->Users->save($user)) {
// send verification email
if ($this->sendEmail($user->id, $user->email, $hash, 'register')) {
$this->Flash->registerSuccess(__('Thank you. You need to verify email. Not received verification email ?'), [
'params' => [
'userId' => $user->id
],
['escape' => false]
]);
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'login']);
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'login']);
}
}

$this->set(compact('user'));
$this->set('_serialize', ['user']);
}
register.ctp view
<?= $this->Form->create(null, ['url' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'register'], 'class' => 'regForm']) ?>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Name <?= $this->Form->error('name') ?></label>
<?= $this->Form->input('name', ['class' => 'form-control', 'label' => false, 'placeholder' => 'Enter Your Name', 'title' => 'Please Enter your full name']) ?>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Email address</label>
<?= $this->Form->input('email', ['label' => false, 'class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Enter Email', 'title' => 'Please enter valid email']) ?>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Mobile</label>
<?= $this->Form->input('mobile', ['label' => false, 'class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Mobile Number', 'title' => 'Please enter valid mobile no to receive notifications']) ?>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Password</label>
<?= $this->Form->input('password', ['label' => false, 'class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Password', 'title' => 'Please enter password']) ?>
</div>
<?= $this->Form->button('<i class="fa fa-user"></i> Create and account', ['type' => 'submit', 'class' => 'btn btn-primary', 'escape' => false]) ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>
</div>
When I try to submit form without filling anything, it simply refreshes the form without showing validation error.
