Time out.

[zsolt247]

Hi, the W3C Validation stopped working, I get the following message:

"W3CValidation has timed out after waiting for 10000 ms"

Using the latest Brackets 1.3, everything is updated.

Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[cfjedimaster]

Wow, it looks like it stopped working. It was working fine earlier.

[cfjedimaster]

Fixed - will be on the registry in a bit.

[olivaresp]

I have the same. And the w3c validation service blocks my ip due to abuse of the requests

[cfjedimaster]

I saw this happen Monday. I don't know how as I had only tested a few times. Will look again later this week.

[zsolt247]

I wouldn't mind if the validation was on demand only instead of automatically re-validating with every code change... Just a thought...

[cfjedimaster]

Unfortunately that's not how the Brackets Linting API works. I'd have to change the extension to be more manual.

Hi Raymond,

I'm seeing the same error message today.

[cfjedimaster]

If you can, open up the dev tools and see if you are being blocked for hitting the API too much.

I am having the same problem today also. Only installed the extension yesterday, when it worked fine.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

[cfjedimaster]

Yep - nothing I can do about it for now - their API is blocking the extension for misuse even though it shouldn't be hitting it that much. I've seen an example of using the Java library from Node, but that would require a big rewrite of the extension. For now, I'm open to someone giving me a hand here because I'm out of ideas.

Hi Raymond,

As of this moment it looks fine so there is nothing to check. I will add that a couple of days back my IP was blocked from the W3C validation site for 24 hours because I had apparently exceeded the max number of requests. I had been saving a lot that day so if I understand your response about the nature of the Brackets Linting API this might explain why my IP was blacklisted.

I appreciate the extension all the same.

[jbwCode]

Help! I have been using this extension fine for a couple of days with no problems, but suddenly I received a timeout "IP blocked due to re-requesting files too often" The specific type of abuse we observed is: re-requesting the same resource too frequently. Specifically, we received at least 500 requests for the same resource (URI) from your IP address within a ten-minute time interval. http://www.w3.org/Help/abuse-info/re-reqs.html

[cfjedimaster]

Yep, known issue. Nothing I can really do about it for now. I've looked into converting the extension to run a Jar locally, but it is a lot of work I'm not sure I want to actually do at this moment.

Hmmm... sad to hear, it's an awesome extension! Maybe something in the html file is triggering the bug? I was using it fine with files in one folder for two days. When I opened up a folder with tutorials from a couple of months ago, it triggered the error...

One thing I can tell you, is that the files in the folder I just opened were missing "<!doctype html>"

[cfjedimaster]

Not sure it is a bug per se - it uses the built in linting API for Brackets. Maybe it is triggering on a bunch of files at once? So you literally got this just opening a folder?

No promises, but this week Ill try to see if I can see Brackets doing something weird network wise. 500 seems like a lot in ten minutes.

Looks like a good opportunity to request a feature from the Brackets team, to allow a manual Brackets Linting API ... a feature like this this would be best served on demand like "remove white space on save".

[jbwCode]

Noticed that another difference in the troublemaker files is that the html had inline style tags, unlike the earlier html files that gave no trouble. The good ones used the link tag to a stylesheet css file ...

[cfjedimaster]

So, I did a bit of checking, and as far as I can see, Brackets isn't running my validation script overly much. I opened a folder with a lot of files, and it didn't scan everything- just the HTML files I opened.

Thanks for checking! IMHO, to receive over 500 hits in a few minutes would imply a loop somewhere. I just reproduced the error (my IP now blocked for another 24 hours) with this html (I deliberately left out !doctype html, title, and meta tags, in order to generate some normal validation problems). http://codepen.io/JohnBW/pen/ojNzMq

[cfjedimaster]

Trying the same file, I don't see anything weird. It returns problems from the API of course, but it isn't "hitting it" lots of times.

I just downloaded today and am getting same error:

W3CValidation has timed out after waiting for 10000 ms

It worked a couple of times, but now keep getting this error.

I am on Mac OSX 10.11.1 Running latest Brackets - Release 1.5 build 1.5.0-16538 (release cf9cf4698)

[Snukii]

Getting the too many requests problem too.

[cfjedimaster]

As I said, i was never able to reproduce the "hit the API a lot for one file". If you can, let me know. Otherwise, there isn't much I can do about it. I don't use Brackets much anymore unfortunately.

[jbwCode]

This extension sounded like a very convenient time saver tool, and I thank the author for trying. But I have removed it, since I could not use it without getting my IP blocked. I have gone back to pasting my code into the W3C validation web pages. According to the author, the extension relies on a Brackets API. So something is not playing well together. Maybe the Brackets team can figure it out...

[cfjedimaster]

So I added a quick console msg to let me know every time it hits the API. Again, I'm not seeing anything weird. I open an HTML file - it runs. I edit

• but don't save - and nothing happens. I save - it runs as expected.

If one of yall who hit the limit would like to test, I can share this mod with you. Even if you are currently blocked, you can still see if the logging is showing a lot of calls.

Just a thought here, but what if the extension only hits the API once, but there is a condition where Brackets goes into a loop that generates multiple HTTP requests?

[cfjedimaster]

Sure - but how? Right now it uses the built in linter api which I can't control, but as far as I can see, it is working right. On edit, do nothing

• but on save, run the lint.

If we can just find a way to recreate the "run a lot!" we would be golden. ;)

It is also possible the API is not telling the truth.

Hi! Getting the too many requests problem too. Did you updated the plugin with your mod?

[JulienJo]

Hum... It works again :-S

[cfjedimaster]

The block by w3c is temporary so it makes sense it would return. And no - I have not done anything yet on the conversion required to run the validation locally. As I think I said - it is possible if we call the Java code via Node (I've seen an example of an extension doing that), but I've not had the time to make that change.

To be clear, this is an issue and it will hit you again. It's just that the block is temporary.

As it is a big change, no, not any time soon. I want to, but honestly, as I don't use Brackets day to day anymore, it isn't high on my priority list. Sorry to say that and just being honest.

Did you find a better alternative to Brackets, or are you working with something other than HTML/CSS/Javascript?

I'm using Visual Studio Code now. I won't say it is better, but I will say it is better for me.

Hi Raymond, thanks for your input! I did not mean to open a debate on the virtues of Brackets :-) There are plenty of other discussions on the web...

I will take a look at VSCode. After looking at your website, reading some of your posts, and seeing your involvement in various advanced projects, it becomes apparent that your requirements go way beyond a client-side web editor. That is why I inquired as to what you are using now. Very cool!

I have found Brackets to be the ultimate code editor for Front End Development (and appears to be limited to that scope). which is my focus for now. But I do wish to eventually move on to full stack, back end, as well as mobile development. I have tried Notepad++, Sublime, Atom, etc...

I presume that it is the holy grail to find one code editor that can do it all... but an open source, cross platform, extensible, code editor that you can customize for all of your needs is going to be the best option. I look to the future to decide what can best fill that role :-)

[nervousjuice]

Isnt Brackets getting incorporated into Dreamweaver?

[cfjedimaster]

It is being incorporated into DW, but not moving away from working by itself as well. More info here: http://blog.brackets.io/2015/10/05/update-from-the-adobe-brackets-team/
