ServiceStack Validation RuleSet for Post is not working

i use ServiceStack build a web service,

this is my validator code:

public class AccountValidator : AbstractValidator<AccountModel>
{

    public AccountValidator()
    {

        //only for post 
        RuleSet(ServiceStack.ApplyTo.Post, () =>
        {
            RuleFor(s => s.Password).Length(30);
        });
    }
}

Service code

public object Post(Account req) {
        AccountModel model = req.ConvertTo<AccountModel>();

        var result = this.Validator.Validate(model);
        if (result.IsValid)
        {
            //is aways true
        }
        throw result.ToException();
    }

the Account.Password is "abc" ,way the result.IsValid is true?

The result is always true because the ApplyTo.Post condition in your validator only applies to rules that are validated on the Request DTO. The ApplyTo conditions don't work for FluentValidation that is invoked manually. See the Validation Documentation.

But given that you are converting the Account into an AccountModel you could use the ValidationFeature plugin to check the validation of Account before converting it to an AccountModel.

Thus:

public class AccountValidator : AbstractValidator<Account>
{
    public AccountValidator()
    {
        RuleSet(ApplyTo.Post, () => RuleFor(s => s.Password).Length(30));
    }
}

// Account will be validated on POST
public object Post(Account req)
{
    // Account is valid coming into the request
    AccountModel model = req.ConvertTo<AccountModel>();

    // Is it not safe to assume the model is valid, because Account is valid?
}
