Nice
Yeah... FYI, I've talked to Alvand and they'd like to get the schema validation into the API, but it is not there right now. We may want to wait for that versus doing this.
Maybe I could add that :-)
FYI: We've updated our validator, which you can find here: https://code.gov/about/compliance/inventory-code/validate-schema
It's built with json-schema-validator-web-component a reusable web component! :-)
Similar to the Code.json Validator it would be helpful to report broken URL links in the Code.json file.
I put together a google sheets prototype of sorts here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13tzylBYFAISHDaN9QOgL-qIj4we0V7X_Jz_pyzKYrxU/edit?usp=sharing
It publishes a daily report to here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQm1kqCv30grzurClLrYTGb3P-itY07Cbl70Hu-7UBEIAKAiz3s8v1y-VFAp4vLqaH3qQ2FVilRSFHb/pubhtml
This tool attempts to daily import each agency's code.json file as described by the code.gov site and verify pertinent URLs for each agency's code.json file. These verifications are displayed on the UrlStatus worksheet. This report displays the HTTPS response codes when >=300 from a call to Google App Script UrlFetch() for each URL.
It works as is, but only validates files that are found from the existing agencies code.json files.
I just posted this as a comment to Code.gov Administration Tool for Agency Inventory Upload and Maintenance #29
Curious why Project Validation is only JSON validation? I'm sure it'll fail if JSON doesn't validate, but wondering the emphasis behind this? W3C has a linkrot validator, amongst their other validators, that you could use here too: https://validator.w3.org/checklink
Happy to include that as well...
Is there more work to be done for this issue?
It looks like JSON is being validated. If there's more to be validated, perhaps it can be clarified in a new issue.
The format of the JSON is validated, but not the structure that Code.gov really wants, or the content of the information (like that URLs really are URLs, or that there is a POC).
We should validate the JSON before pushing any changes that could break or improperly update project info.
