query param in enum wrongly converted to boolean

[martinellog]

Given the following swagger spec of a parameter:
name: whatever
in: query
type: string
enum

• true

and the request contains a p=true in the query, the validation fails saying that true is not available as an option in the enum. this is because the true in the enum is converted to boolean at some point of the execution in the library. This happens if i put True capitalized in the enum options. If I put type: boolean in the spec, then still the library says that p is not valid, because is of type stsring and should be boolean.

I don't have the bandwidth to look into this myself at the moment. I think that the correct place to start investigating is in flex.validation.parameters.type_cast_parameter which is responsible for the appropriate type casting of parameters.
