I have googeld about this issue and I have checked my web.config, bundleconfig and my layout which look like this: web.config:
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
</appSettings>
In my App_Start folder under "BundleConfig.cs":
var jqueryBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery"); jqueryBundle.Include("~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"); jqueryBundle.Include("~/Scripts/moment.min.js"); jqueryBundle.Include("~/Scripts/loadingoverlay.js"); jqueryBundle.Include("~/Scripts/fullcalendar.js"); jqueryBundle.Include("~/Scripts/lang-all.js"); jqueryBundle.Transforms.Add(jsTransformer); jqueryBundle.Orderer = nullOrderer; bundles.Add(jqueryBundle);
var jqueryvalBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryval"); jqueryvalBundle.Include("~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"); jqueryvalBundle.Include("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js"); jqueryvalBundle.Include("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js"); jqueryvalBundle.Transforms.Add(jsTransformer); jqueryvalBundle.Orderer = nullOrderer; bundles.Add(jqueryvalBundle);
in my layout page:
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
Firebug shows:
Thus far everything is included and shouold be running smoothly.

a field in the form via firebug:
I run this script in firebug and I get no errors even though there should be errors since some of the fields are requiered but they do not have a value:
$("#credentialsForm").validate().numberOfInvalids()
// retunrs 0
$("#credentialsForm").validate().valid()
// returns true
Ive been at this for hours and im going nuts right now, what am I missing?
EDIT: changed the question from "How to setup MVC 5 unobtrusive validation correctly" to it's current title since it described what I was looking for better than the previous title.
