Web crawler for checking the validity of your documents
apt install ruby-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev
If you want complete local validation look tidy packages
gem install validate-website
validate-website [OPTIONS]
validate-website-static [OPTIONS]
validate-website -v -s https://www.ruby-lang.org/
validate-website -v -x tidy -s https://www.ruby-lang.org/
validate-website -v -x nu -s https://www.ruby-lang.org/
validate-website -h
validate-website is a web crawler for checking the markup validity with XML Schema / DTD and not found urls (more info doc/validate-website.adoc).
validate-website-static checks the markup validity of your local documents with XML Schema / DTD (more info doc/validate-website-static.adoc).
HTML5 support with libtidy5 or Validator.nu Web Service.
require 'validate_website/validator'
body = '<!DOCTYPE html><html></html>'
v = ValidateWebsite::Validator.new(Nokogiri::HTML(body), body)
v.valid? # => false
You can add this Rake task to validate a jekyll site:
desc 'validate _site with validate website'
task validate: :build do
Dir.chdir("_site") do
system("validate-website-static",
"--verbose",
"--exclude", "examples",
"--site", HTTP_URL)
exit($?.exitstatus)
end
end
end
If the libtidy5 is found on your system this will be the default to validate your html5 document. This does not depend on a tier service everything is done locally.
nokogiri can validate html5 document without tier service but reports less errors than tidy.
When --html5-validator nu option is used HTML5 support is done by using the
Validator.nu Web Service, so the content of your webpage is logged by a tier.
It's not the case for other validation because validate-website use the XML
Schema or DTD stored on the data/ directory.
Please read http://about.validator.nu/#tos for more info on the HTML5 validation service.
You can download validator jar and start it with:
java -cp PATH_TO/vnu.jar nu.validator.servlet.Main 8888
Then you can use validate-website option:
--html5-validator-service-url http://localhost:8888/
# or
export VALIDATOR_NU_URL="http://localhost:8888/"
This will prevent you to be blacklisted from validator webservice.
With standard environment:
bundle exec rake
