[1] "[0]" must not be a sparse array item

[albertpeiro]

I installed:

"joi": "^17.6.0",
"joi-tz": "^4.1.1",

and coded:

import * as BaseJoi from "joi";
import JoiTimezone from "joi-tz";
const Joi = BaseJoi.extend(JoiTimezone);

const querySchema = Joi.object({
  rangeStart: Joi.date().required(),
  rangeEnd: Joi.date().required(),
  rangeTz: Joi.string().required(),
});

Didn't call .timezone() yet but it already seems to break BaseJoi. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
I've tried downgrading to joi 16, 17.5, 17.4 but didn't help.

Thank you!

This is the error I get at run time.

@albertpeiro I've been unable to reproduce this in Node 18 or Node 16 using the example you gave and some expansion. This is the code I tested with.

import BaseJoi from "joi";
import JoiTimezone from "joi-tz";
const Joi = BaseJoi.extend(JoiTimezone);

const querySchema = Joi.object({
    rangeStart: Joi.date().required(),
    rangeEnd: Joi.date().required(),
    rangeTz: Joi.string().required(),
});

const result = querySchema.validate({
    rangeStart: '2022-01-01',
    rangeEnd: '2022-01-03',
    rangeTz: 'Asia/Bangkok',
});

console.log(result);

The error you have provided indicates a validation error in a Joi schema containing an array type. There isn't one included in this code. Are you able to provide me with a little more detail in the environment you're seeing this issue in, and maybe a full example file?

I'm getting a similar error on my end. I'm also not using array(). If I remove joi-tz, the error goes away. It might be worth noting that I'm using moment-timezone in my project already.

My schema:

export const LocationValidator = Joi.object({
  name: Joi.string().required(),
  // timezone: Joi.timezone(),
  address: Joi.object({
    line_1: Joi.string(),
    line_2: Joi.string(),
    city: Joi.string(),
    state: Joi.string(),
    postcode: Joi.string(),
  }),
});

Error:

{
	"errorType": "ValidationError",
	"errorMessage": "[\n  null\n]\n\u001b[31m\n[1] \"[0]\" must not be a sparse array item\u001b[0m",
	"_original": [
		null
	],
	"details": [{
		"message": "\"[0]\" must not be a sparse array item",
		"path": [
			0
		],
		"type": "array.sparse",
		"context": {
			"key": 0,
			"path": [
				0
			],
			"pos": 0,
			"label": "[0]"
		}
	}]
}

Using node v16.x

Any solution for this problem?
