Dan Bress updated NIFI-716: --------------------------- Description: If you are lazy and copy and paste a PropertyDescriptor and forget to change the value assigned to name(), the framework(test or regular) does not detect this and proceeds happily. It would be great if this situation was detected as soon as possible, and either mark the processor as invalid, or fail to consider it as a possible processor. This applies to Processors, ControllerServices and ReportingTasks Example {code} public static final PropertyDescriptor MIN_SIZE = new PropertyDescriptor.Builder() .name("Minimum Group Size") .description("The minimum size of for the bundle") .required(true) .defaultValue("0 B") .addValidator(StandardValidators.DATA_SIZE_VALIDATOR) .build(); public static final PropertyDescriptor MAX_SIZE = new PropertyDescriptor.Builder() .name("Minimum Group Size") .description("The maximum size for the bundle. If not specified, there is no maximum.") .required(false) .addValidator(StandardValidators.DATA_SIZE_VALIDATOR) .build(); {code} was: If you are lazy and copy and paste a PropertyDescriptor and forget to change the value assigned to name(), the framework(test or regular) does not detect this and proceeds happily.
