Can you get the validation errors in a functional test

Question

I want to test that a particular request has validation errors. Is this possible? Something like:

assertEquals(true, Validation.hasErrors());

This doesn't seem to work.

I've attempted to use:

Validation.hasErrors();
Validation.current().hasErrors();

You could try with this the following:

In my model I have this:

@Email
@Required
public String email;

Then I can test it with:

myobject.email = "bademailbad.com";
Validation v = Validation.current();
v.valid(myobject);
assertEquals(true, v.hasErrors());

.. or ..

myobject.email = "bademailbad.com";
Validation.valid("email", myobject);
assertEquals(true, Validation.hasErrors());

Hope it helps!
