Validate HTML5 files.

Project description

This was written with static site generators like Jekyll and Pelican in mind that push to a static server. html5validator is a command line executable that integrates well with CircleCI and TravisCI and tests all static html files for HTML5 validity.

https://travis-ci.org/svenkreiss/html5validator.svg?branch=master https://pypip.in/d/html5validator/badge.svg https://pypip.in/v/html5validator/badge.svg

Install

Install with pip install html5validator and run with

html5validator --root _build/ --ignore "Attribute “ng-[a-z-]+” not allowed"

to validate all html files in the _build directory and to ignore all messages that match the regular expression Attribute “ng-[a-z-]+” not allowed.

This package uses the validator.nu backend which is written in Java. Therefore, a Java Runtime Environment must be available on your system.

Integration with CircleCI

Create a circle.yml file:

dependencies:
  pre:
    - sudo pip install html5validator
test:
  override:
    - html5validator

in your repository with static html files and get HTML5 validation on every git push.

Integration with TravisCI

Create a .travis.yml file:

language: python
branches:
  only:
    - gh-pages
python:
 - "2.7"
install:
 - "pip install html5validator"
script: "html5validator"

Enable the repository on TravisCI.

You probably don’t want TravisCI to run on the master branch but only on the gh-pages branch. TravisCI has an option (off by default) to run tests only on branches that have a .travis.yml.

You can also use this for user pages (repositories of the form <username>.github.io) where the html files are in the master branch. You only have to remove:

branches:
  only:
    - gh-pages

from .travis.yml. I am using this on my own user page.

Technical Notes

  • If you are using grunt already, maybe consider using the grunt-html plugin for grunt instead.

  • Use --ignore "Attribute “ng-[a-z-]+” not allowed" with angular.js apps.

  • Example with multiple ignores: html5validator --root tests/multiple_ignores/ --ignore "Attribute “ng-[a-z-]+” not allowed" "Start tag seen without seeing a doctype first"

  • Be careful with the non-standard quotes in the error messages when constructing the expressions to ignore.

Changelog
