which fields are truly mandatory (or which validator is truly reliable)? #22

Closed 1l2p closed 7 years ago

1l2p commented 9 years ago

We created a few test JSON that are missing some of the fields that are marked as mandatory in the specifications (e.g. uid), but the validator at http://validator.openbadges.org/ considered them valid.

Are the specifications out of date or is the validator not validating accurately (or am I missing something, always a possibility)?

@1l2p Indeed the validator has issues, and often the result of that is that badges that should not be valid are accepted. I didn't think uid was one of the fields that encountered that error, but if you could post the JSON you're using, I could dig into it and figure out exactly why.

Validator has been updated. Moving to archive.
