All fields works as they suppose to too. Only the file fields are giving the same error. The complete app is a SPA using laravel as a backend along with vue, vuex

Answer 1

Not sure if it's still relevant, but I had the exact same problem.

I just added [] as the initial value for file fields in the form and the error disappears.

In the docs, they say value can be any, which is wrongly documented.

If those fields are not required, you might want to check them manually before submitting.

Answer 2

The received value is a type of FILE : https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/API/File , so all you need to do is to check that it's an instance of FILE and not a string.

Answer 3

the solution for you problem is :

for image value in you template

<v-file-input
    v-model="image"
>
</v-file-input>

have to be initial value [] your data variable image like this:

export default {
   data: () => ({
      image:[]
   })
}

Answer 4

if u used v-file-input like

<v-file-input
                    type="file"
                    :label="labels.user_profile_photo"
                    v-model="form.user_profile_photo"
                    :error-messages="errors.user_profile_photo"
                    :rules="[rules.required('user_profile_photo')]"
                    :disabled="loading"
                    @input="clearErrors('user_profile_photo')"
                >
                </v-file-input>

change form.user_profile_photo = '' to form.user_profile_photo=[]
