Hi Felix,
The way you create your validator instance it is passed the
value returned by `date.today()` at module initialization time.
That is when the Python process starts.
It means that if you started your development server or say
a gunicorn process on your server yesterday the max value
the value will compare against will be yesterday and not the
actual date which is what I'm assuming you're trying to do
here.
Instead of relying on MaxValueValidator I suggest you write
your own by simply defining the following function and
passing in your field validators list.
def validate_past_date(value):
if value > datetime.date.today():
raise ValidationError('This date can't be in the future')
Cheers,
Simon
