Possibility of appending errors to Validator::make & validate with $validator->fails() after

[bilbodog]

Hi,

There is no way to make a validator, then afterwards appending an error to the validator and then checking if it failed, then it would return false for errors and then act as it succeeded.

Clearly explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46052843/1288867

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'textField' => 'string|max:1'
]);

$validator->getMessageBag()->add('password', 'Wrong password.');
// or
$validator->errors()->add('password', 'Wrong password.');

if (!$validator->fails()) { // This would pass since the appending error is not acutally added into the fails event
    return true;
}
return $validator->messages()->get('*');

I might be new at Laravel, so there might be a solution to this then please enlighten me. I have not been able to find it, even tho I think I have searched the internet dry and looked at the function, so I have to make a wacky workaround, would just be nice if Laravel supported this, when it already has a validator that we can use.

Best regards,
