ValidationErrorItem value property does not contain "The value that generated the error"

[superclarkk]

According to the docs, the value property of the ValidationErrorItem(message, type, path, value) object should contain "The value that generated the error", but instead it contains the error message.

Database error {
   [SequelizeValidationError: Validation error: Password must be between 9 and 24 characters in length]
   name: 'SequelizeValidationError',
   message: 'Validation error: Password must be between 9 and 24 characters in length',
   errors: [ {
      message: 'Password must be between 9 and 24 characters in length',
      type: 'Validation error',
      path: 'password',
      value: 'Password must be between 9 and 24 characters in length',
      __raw: 'Password must be between 9 and 24 characters in length'
   } ]
}

Can you provide a small test case?

This bug is still outstanding, and exists for every validation. To confirm it, just set up a validation for any model, enter data so that it fails validation and console log the errors:

.catch(db.Sequelize.ValidationError, function(SequelizeValidationError){
    console.log("SequelizeValidationError: \n", JSON.stringify(SequelizeValidationError, null, 2));
})

Please would you re-open this issue, or link it to an existing issue if it's a duplicate?

@superclarkk to help out you can add a model definition and call that triggers this.

var User = sequelize.define('user',
    {
        first_name: {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            validate: {
                len: {
                    msg: "Must be between 4 and 24 characters",
                    args: [4, 24]
                }
        },
        last_name: { 
            type: Sequelize.STRING
        }
    }
);

User.sync()
    .then(function () {
        return User.create({
            first_name: 'Jon', // will fail validation as not between 4 and 24 chars
            last_name: 'Hancock'
        });
    })

    .catch(db.Sequelize.ValidationError, function(SequelizeValidationError){
        // note value attribute of error is not "Jon"
        console.log("SequelizeValidationError: \n", JSON.stringify(SequelizeValidationError, null, 2));
    });

Note that schema validations seem to store the "value" property correctly - so, this bug only affects standard validations.
