How to bypass rule set in PostValidator?

Aki-to

I'm struggling to make users of a certain role bypass a rule set by the following extension.

https://github.com/theAkito/flarum-limit-post-length/tree/0.1.0

I want the rule to apply to all users, except users in certain roles, like administrators & moderators.

I imagined, I could just call getActor inside (new Extend\Validator(PostValidator::class))->configure(function ($flarumValidator, $validator), but it doesn't work. Now, I don't understand how I would stop this validation rule from applying, when I have to define the permission check somewhere else.

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a hint on how to proceed. This is mind-numbing.

Aki-to unless your local extend.php is invalid, the reason it is not working is because your extend.php in the root of the Flarum installation is executed before the extenders from the extensions.

There are a few options I think. One would be to wait for the application to have booted (using the booted callback from a service provider), you can also fork or contribute to the mentioned extension to add permissions support to it.
