Array validation does not work

[Jozsan]

Hello, i'm trying to use validate but i'm encountering a problem with Array type validation.

const Schema = require('validate')

const userSchema = new Schema({
  firstname: {
    type: 'string', // String does not work (throw error firstname must be String)
    required: true
  },
  lastname: {
    type: 'string', // String does not work (throw error lastname must be String)
    required: true
  },
  age: {
    type: 'number', // Number does not work (throw error age must be Number)
    required: true
  },
  sex: {
    type: 'string', // String does not work (throw error sex must be String)
    required: true,
    length: {min: 1, max: 1}

  },
  studies: {
    required: true,
    type: 'array', // Array and 'array' does not work (throw error studies must be of type Array)
    each: {
      label: {
        type: 'string',
        required: true
      }
    }
  }
})

let user = {
  firstname: "foo",
  lastname: 'bar',
  age: 22,
  sex: 'M',
  studies: [{
    label: 'StudyEx'
  }]
}
console.log(typeof(user.studies)) // => object
console.log(Array.isArray(user.studies)) // => true

let errors = userSchema.validate(user)

errors.forEach(error => {
  console.log(error.message) // => studies must be of type Array.
})

I don't understand why i get studies must be of type Array.
Further i don't understand why when i use type: String || Number i get an error`.

I've used : https://repl.it/languages/nodejs
Node version : v10.15.2 linux/amd64

Me too. The same error, but in my local machine.

I'm not able to replicate this. I suspect it has something to do with repl.it

I had this error on my machine, but it was fixed when I changed the type from 'Array' to 'array'.
