empty-node-without-dependent.conllu #11

Closed martinpopel closed 1 year ago

martinpopel commented 7 years ago

Currently, runtests.sh fails on empty-node-without-dependent.conllu. This is not ideal as we plan to publish this tools repo within the UD 2.0 release.

I can fix this, but I would prefer to test this within svalidation (rather than within validate.py). First, it would be easier to implement there (and validate.py is terrible to maintain even now without adding more tests). Second, I consider this a linguistic decision, we may want to keep in UD treebanks, but not a strict requirement of the CoNLL-U format.

  1. @spyysalo is aware of this and working on it
  2. validate.py cannot assume valid input and therefore the code is quite complex
