Unable to get rid of username & password_confirm validation errors.

[KipchirchirIan]

sigh* I am a little bit frustrated by this coz I have been going at it for hours. I am unable to get rid of validation errors caused by missing username and password confirmation when submitting the register form. I am using email only for credentials and not doing any password confirmations.

In Config\Auth which extends \Myth\Auth\Config\Auth, I have made the following changes:

public $validFields = [
    'email',
];

public $personalFields = [
  'full_name',
  'telephone',
  'telephone-full'
];

In AuthController.php which extends BaseController, I have removed rules checking for username and password confirmation
and it now looks like this:

$rules = [
  'email'          => 'required|valid_email|is_unique[users.email]',
  'full_name'      => 'required|alpha_space',
  'telephone'      => 'required',
  'telephone-full' => 'required'
];

// some other code here

$rules = [
  'password'     => 'required|strong_password',
];

Allowed fields and validation rules in UserModel.php which extends \Myth\Auth\Models\UserModel looks like this:

protected $allowedFields = [
  'email', 'full_name', 'telephone', 'password_hash', 'reset_hash', 'reset_at', 'reset_expires', 'activate_hash',
  'status', 'status_message', 'active', 'force_pass_reset', 'permissions', 'deleted_at',
];

protected $validationRules = [
  'email'         => 'required|valid_email|is_unique[users.email,id,{id}]',
  'full_name'     => 'required|alpha_space',
  'telephone'     => 'required',
  'password_hash' => 'required',
];

I'll appreciate any help on this.

Environment:
CodeIgniter version: 4.1.3
myth/auth version: 1.0.1

Finally made a breakthrough!! After some time, I decided to do something rather crazy. I decided to edit the vendor package directly i.e. myth/auth. One is definitely not supposed to do this but I wanted to find out where the problem could be coming from and if anything would come up if edited the vendor's code directly. So, I commented out(returned it to its original state later) the areas checking for validation rules during registration in AuthController.php and suddenly things started to move. After a minute or two of wondering how this could be fixed although I had my own copy of it in App\Controllers, I realized that the issue was in Routes.php because the authentication routes were still namespaced to 'Myth\Auth\Controllers and therefore it seems the vendors AuthController.php was still in use. I copied over the routes from the vendor to my Routes.php file and changed the namespace to App\Controllers. I am not sure whether this was the right way to go about this but I am going to continue while I wait for more feedback here. So far, this is where I have reached but I have to check that registration, login e.t.c. still works and nothing was broken. I'll keep updating.

*Sorry for the ramble

dont edit vendor files, when update new version, this will be overwritten. better publish it:

php spark auth:publish

edit the published files
