Symfony validation groups (not forms)

Can't seem to get validation groups working. It works for the default group, however I cant seem to figure out how to specify different validation groups in the following:

$errors = $validator->validate($entity);

I've a simple entity I'm testing with:

/**
 * Class Login
 * @package AppBundle\Entity
 */
class Login
{
    /**
     * @Assert\NotBlank(
     *     message="not.blank",
     *     groups={"Default", "login"}
     * )
     *
     * @Assert\Email(
     *     message="email",
     *     groups={"Default", "login"}
     * )
     */
    public $email;

    /**
     * @Assert\NotBlank(
     *     message="not.blank",
     *     groups={"Default", "login"}
     * )
     */
    public $password;
}

If I add a parameter like this it complains:

$errors = $validator->validate($entity, 'login');

But there's got to be a way to do this, right?

Actually, the correct way of using Symfony3 validation groups is to list them as an array:

$errors = $validator->validate($entity, null, ['login']);

Btw, depending on your use case you might not need to set Default group for each property and use just group Login instead of login. Then when you validate the entity with group Default it'll automatically include assertions with group name equal to the class name which is Login in your case. For more details see: http://symfony.com/doc/current/validation/groups.html

After digging into the Symfony code I found the following:

File: /vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/Validator/ValidatorInterface.php

Line: public function validate($value, $constraints = null, $groups = null);

So if I change this:

$errors = $validator->validate($entity, 'login');

To this:

$errors = $validator->validate($entity, null, 'login');

It works!
