context not passed to field validators

Initial Checks

• I confirm that I'm using Pydantic V2

Description

Hi there! It appears that the context arg that can be passed to model_validate does not work when using Pydantic Settings, when it does work using a regular Pydantic model.

Example Code

Thanks @aidanmontare-fed for reporting this bug. I will prepare a fix.

[hramezani]

@aidanmontare-fed I created #417 to fix the problem.

Could you please confirm?

[aidanmontare-fed]

@hramezani just checked it out and it works great! Thanks so much!

[hramezani]

Thanks @aidanmontare-fed for reporting the bug and confirming the fix.

The fix will be available in the next release!

[hramezani]

@aidanmontare-fed I have to revert the fix.
Actually, the issue is related to pydantic pydantic/pydantic#10062

The fix that I did caused a lot of issues for current users and had to be reverted. Here are some of the issues:

• 2.6.0 breaks environment variable loading #445
• 2.6.0 breaks sub-modules inheriting from BaseSettings for independent environment variables #449
• Pydantic 2.6.0 breaks pathlib validation against str | os.PathLike #456

You can solve your problem by adding __init__.__pydantic_base_init__ = True to your model before the real fix in pydantic. but you have to take care about the other issues that might happen:

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    text: str

    def __init__(self, **data):
        super().__init__(**data)

    __init__.__pydantic_base_init__ = True

    @field_validator('text')
    @classmethod
    def test_validator(cls, v: str, info: ValidationInfo):
        context = info.context
        print(f'{context=}')
        if context:
            print('have context')
        return v


Settings.model_validate({'text': 'foo bar'}, context={'biz': 'baz'})
