@boris-petrov
Ah, I see. I'm using it via the nu.validator:validator package.
Which doesn't have a new release. I can use directly the css-validator one?
sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker:mozilla.org
[m]
Yeah
Or the HTML checker validator jar too
https://github.com/validator/validator/releases/download/latest/vnu.jar
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
I se that nu.validator:validator depends on nu.validator:cssvalidator. Is this the same package as the one you gave me a link to?
Oh, there's a latest thing...
sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker:mozilla.org

That can check both HTML and CSS files, as well as SVG files
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
Yes, I'm using this one, but the "stable" release.
Using it from Gradle.
Not sure how to use this "latest" from Gradle. Any ideas?
sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker:mozilla.org
[m]
Yeah I have no idea where the Gradle packages come from
Not from me
Oh, so they come from Maven?
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
Yes.
nu.validator:validator:20.7.2 just means get that package version from Maven.
Or from whatever repository is set.
But "latest" is not on Maven Central I believe?
sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker:mozilla.org

Yeah I haven't released a new Maven package since then
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
Would you kindly? :D

Not this week or next, no
So I recommend using the jar releases in the meantime
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
The jar release == the link to GitHub releases?

I don't personally understand the use case for the Maven packages unless you are doing some integration into another java app
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
That's what I'm doing. But what other case is there for the JAR release?

The jar release gets updated/rebuilt every time I push
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
I see... well, it's generally not nice for an application to depend on an artifact that changes every so often and one cannot pin the exact version they need.
That's why it's nice to have Maven Central releases.
In any case, thanks for the info. Please do a Maven Central release when you have the time

hm, I see that this vnu.jar is a fat-jar so it contains a bunch of classes that I don't want - for example org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class. Because of it I get SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings..

Is there at least a way to locally build a maven bundle? ./checker.py bundle seems to do that but only for the "validator" package and not for the rest - cssvalidator, htmlparser, etc.

wait, I have them already
./checker.py cssvalidator-bundle, for example
I am not sure I know how to fix that — that version issue
The thing is, I don’t use the Maven packages myself. At all.
I provide them because some people asked for them
and I spent a huge amount of time writing up a the build code for them
…which by the way I fully realize is idiosyncratic build code, and the “right” way to do it all would be directly with mvn and whatever
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
I see. Well, if you remember how you did the releases last time, you could just do the same for a new release. I'm not sure where version numbers come from, for example. I just built the "master" css-validator package and it still has 1.0.8 which is the version in MC.
sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker:mozilla.org
[m]
I think the version numbers are static ones that I bump myself
the dependency ones are not generated numbers or automatically bumped
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
Only for the "main" package?
validator?
sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker:mozilla.org
[m]
for the vnu.jar releases, that one gets automatically bumped
anyway, the version numbers are hardcoded into the ./build/build.py file
https://github.com/validator/validator/blob/main/build/build.py#L89-L92
Boris Petrov
@boris-petrov
Right. I really don't want to take much of your time. The best solution for me would be to get new versions for all the packages on MC. If you can do that in the next few days/weeks, that's great. If not, in any case I will try to create my own packages in a local Maven repo so I can continue using the validator package from my app.
