    Description

    When using Zend_Validate_Postcode with Zend_Form an exception is thrown when an empty value is passed to a required field.

    Reproduce Code:

    // Form Element $postcode = $this->createElement('text','ZIP'); $postcode->setLabel('Post Code') ->addFilter('StringTrim') ->setRequired(true) ->addValidator('PostCode', false);

    // Controller if ($form->isValid($_POST) { etc...

    Expected result: Form returned failing validation with 'Value is required and cannot be empty'

    Actual Result:

    Exception thrown with message: Format has to be a not empty string

    Having looked at the source, I can see this is because I have no default Locale in the registry of my application, and am not passing over any configuration to the validator - maybe the exception message should be altered slightly to clarify what this issue is?
