@sebasti4n Does your file field is allowing multiple files?

"The file field is required" but it is present in $request->allFiles()?
I have a file upload form with enctype="multipart/form-data" that has this field:
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" required accept=".csv,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/vnd.ms-excel" />
When uploading, I have the following validation rule:
'file' => 'required|mimetypes:'.implode(',', [
'text/csv',
'text/plain',
'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'application/octet-stream',
]),
However, it fails with the error "The file field is required", but when I dd($request->allFiles()) there indeed is an array item called "file" which references an Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile instance.
What am I missing?

@DhPandya I don't have the multiple="multiple" attribute on the input field, so nope!

@sebasti4n Could you please add your view code of the form only? Make sure your form tag has enctype="multipart/form-data" property included. Well are you submitting your form using AJAX ?

@sebasti4n Are you submitting your form using AJAX?
Level 8
@DhPandya Nope, just simple POST

@sebasti4n Your code seems OKAY. Have you cleared the cache? php artisan optimize:clear
Level 8
@DhPandya Yes, it didn't change anything, unfortunately

@sebasti4n Please add your controller function here where you're validating the form or the request class.

@sebasti4n if it's ods, you could try
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet

Try this 'file' => 'required|mimes:xlsx,xls,doc,docx,ppt,pptx,csv',
