Validation fails even if it has values Maatwebsite Laravel Validation - laravel

Question

I'm currently using Maatwebsite collection when processing the import CSV file and validating it as well since I'm having hard time using the ToModel way. Here's how I validate the csv fields:
class ImportRooms implements ToCollection, WithStartRow
{
public function collection(Collection $rows)
{
foreach($rows as $row){
\Validator::make($row->toArray(), [
'name' => $row[0],
'room_code' => $row[1],
'user_name' => $row[2],
'email' => $row[3],
'password' => $row[4],
'remarks' => $row[5],
'name' => ['required', 'max:50'],
'room_code' => ['required', 'max:50'],
'user_name' => ['required', 'max:255'],
'email' => ['required', 'email', 'max:255','nullable'],
'password' => ['min:8','max:255','nullable'],
'remarks' => ['max:500'],
])->validate();
}
}
/**
* #return int
*/
public function startRow(): int
{
return 2;
}
}
This is a sample data I have.
Illuminate\Support\Collection {#565 ▼
#items: array:6 [▼
0 => "Room name"
1 => "Room101"
2 => "user"
3 => "fmacejkovic#example.org"
4 => "password"
5 => "remarks"
]
}
My problem now is that even though the values are all correct and valid, it still fails in the validation. I'm trying to assign to a specific variable so that when it fails, it'll return the row name instead of row number. Even though I use the row number, it still fails.

You have used incorrect syntax for Validator::make(), use this :
class ImportRooms implements ToCollection, WithStartRow
{
public function collection(Collection $rows)
{
foreach($rows as $row){
$row = $row->toArray();
$data = [
'name' => $row[0],
'room_code' => $row[1],
'user_name' => $row[2],
'email' => $row[3],
'password' => $row[4],
'remarks' => $row[5],
];
\Validator::make($data, [
'name' => ['required', 'max:50'],
'room_code' => ['required', 'max:50'],
'user_name' => ['required', 'max:255'],
'email' => ['required', 'email', 'max:255','nullable'],
'password' => ['min:8','max:255','nullable'],
'remarks' => ['max:500'],
])->validate();
}
}
/**
* #return int
*/
public function startRow(): int
{
return 2;
}
}

Refer https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/validation#automatic-redirection
//Convert row data into array and store it in a variable.
$row = $row->toArray();
//Set data to be validated.
$data = [
'name' => $row[0],
'room_code' => $row[1],
'user_name' => $row[2],
'email' => $row[3],
'password' => $row[4],
'remarks' => $row[5]
];
//Set conditions for validation.
$conditions = [
'name' => 'required|max:50',
'room_code' => 'required|max:50',
'user_name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|nullable',
'password' => 'min:8|max:255|nullable',
'remarks' => 'max:500'
];
//Validate the excel data.
\Validator::make($data, $conditions)->validate();
