Wrong layout with titlesec: it won't change page after new section

I tried the following layout

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}

\titleformat{\section}
  {\vspace{1cm}\titlerule\vspace{.8ex}%
   \bfseries\large}
  {\Roman{section}\,|}
  {.5em}
  {#1}

\titlespacing{\section}{0.5ex}{*1}{*0}

\begin{document}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\section{Test}

\end{document}

But all the titles are put on the page 2, with a strong vertical overfull box: see the image below.

What is the issue and how to fix it?

Put some text in between (not just a blank line). – TeXnician Aug 14 '18 at 13:52
I would like (if possible) to possibly not put any text after a \section{}. But, indeed, it works with \mbox{} although it adds some vertical space. – Colas Aug 14 '18 at 13:54

Well, it is intended behavior that two sections following each other do not break (if I recall correctly). – TeXnician Aug 14 '18 at 13:57

This answer is probably what @TeXnician is referring to. If you want more details, have a look at this more recent answer. – Ruixi Zhang Aug 14 '18 at 14:10
