Maybe it is one of my option. In the validator editor, I got no error and no messages: "Errors only" mode enabled. Showing only error messages (with some exceptions). But when I use Batch Wizard, I got no error but lot of warning messages (so it surprised me) and it said too many messages so it considers as 1 error. So this confuses me since I always think I do not have any error in the URL/page to be validated.
1) So I did not find out yet how to enable warning messages in the editor (disable "Errors only" mode). Where is this option? I expected that if this option is enabled, then the Messages tab would show the number of messages, like Warnings (50).
2) Once enabled, will I see 1 error due to "too many warning messages" as with Batch Wizard? If yes, then it is bad, although this is in sync between editor and Batch Wizard.
Edit (add):
In fact it is a catch22 situation. I do not have any messages in Editor console (right term Result Windows ?) due to "Errors only" mode enabled, so I cannot disable them.Albert Wiersch wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 2:30 pm You only need to validate a file in the editor that causes the message to be generated. You can then disable the message and it will be disabled for the Batch Wizard and for all URLs.
The problem is differences between v20 and v21 for me.
With "Errors only" mode enabled (I still do not know how to disable/enable it), and CSS syntax enabled, and for the same document :
With v20:
- No error (if document OK) in Results Windows.
- No messages (warning or informaiional) in Results Windows. No CSS messages.
- No informational messages (for sure), no CSS messages (for sure) and only warning messages (to check, I did not remember well) with Batch Wizard.
With v21:
- No error (if document OK) in Results Windows.
- No messages (warning or informaiional) in Results Windows. CSS messages present (which is in sync with CSS syntax check option by the way).
- Informational, CSS and warning messages all present with Batch Wizard.
So the other problem is that the Batch Wizard does not follow the "Errors only" mode.
But thanks to this "feature", I discover a lot of interesting information that I would not know since I mainly used the Editor, not the Batch wizard .
Edit (add):
OK I got it. The option are in the Editor, menu Options/Validator Engine Options/Set Default Validation Mode/Errors and warnings only.
With this option I got the same messages as with Batch Wizard. For example, tab Errors(1), Warnings(30).
So the problem is that apparently v21 Batch Wizard does not follor the common setting in "Options/Validator Engine Options/Set Default Validation Mode".
In my case, "Options/Validator Engine Options/Set Default Validation Mode" is et to "Errors only", and followed by the Editor.
But Batch wizard seems to follow different setting. Edit: in fact it seems to have finer granular choices than the Editor. So to get no warning messages (equivalent to Editor "Errors only", you have to uncheck the warning message part from Batch wizard/Validator engine options part (Ctrl-F4). This satisfies me since now with 29K+ documents, I don't have to manage the warning messages (30 per document), and then I am in familiar situation as with to v20.
