Validate HTML / CSS

[ehamiter]

This will validate the current .html or .css file in Sublime Text 2. W3C's JSON CSS support is experimental so it isn't verbose, it will just tell you if you have errors. Not terribly helpful, but not sure how to augment that.



You must download the w3c-validator.py file separately from GitHub and throw it in your User directory, as well as validate.py below. Also, the curl command must be in the shell's PATH.

validate.py

Code: Select all

import os
import sublime
import sublime_plugin


class ValidateCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    '''
    This plugin is dependent on /User/w3c-validator.py, which you can get from here:
    https://github.com/srackham/w3c-validator
    '''
    def run(self, edit):
        if len(self.view.file_name()) > 0 and self.view.file_name().endswith((".html", ".css")):
            folder_name, file_name = os.path.split(self.view.file_name())
            self.view.window().run_command('exec', {
                'cmd': ['python', sublime.packages_path() + "/User/w3c-validator.py", file_name],
                'working_dir': folder_name
                })
            sublime.status_message(("Validating %s...") % file_name)

    def is_enabled(self):
        return self.view.file_name() and len(self.view.file_name()) > 0


Mine is mapped to alt+shift+v in User Key Bindings:

Code: Select all

{ "keys": ["alt+shift+v"], "command": "validate" }

Wahey!

Been looking into creating something like this for a while!

How who I go about putting "the curl command must be in the shell's PATH" on windows 7?

I use a Mac, so I can't walk you through it, but basically you install curl for windows, then add the curl command to the shell's path.

Do the .py files need to be directly in /User or in a subdir inside of /User?

I got curl all set up but I can't seem to get this to work....and believe me, I'd really love to

[ehamiter]

Just directly in /User, but I can confirm it's broken currently... it seems to be failing to connect to the W3C service. I'll poke around and see if I can fix it or see what's going on.

So while I'm running this, all I'm getting is errors...'retrying', 'retrying', 'failed'...is this still working? I've downloaded the two py files into User, and i'm running OSX, so curl is there--which I've confirmed by running curl http:// command to load one of my web pages...

Not getting how to install it

[larryzhao]

I am on my Mac. I put the two files into Sublime Text 2/Packages/User, and bind the keys:

Code: Select all

[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+v"], "command": "validate" }
]

but nothing happens when I pressed them. Is there anything I could do to troubleshoot this? I do not even know the problem happens in the function itself or the key binding...

[C0D312]

Open up the console (control + `). If it was the plugin, it will give an error.

If it was the keybinding, it will say something like "command" = noop.
