Sean Busbey commented on HADOOP-12031: -------------------------------------- {quote} One concern is, this plugin depends on Python currently. I assume we can use Python in most build environment, but please advise if there is a more portable and not-so-hard way to validate XML. {quote} Relying on python is problematic. If you stick with it, you'll need to detect and gracefully degrade when the version you need isn't present. If we're just checking well-formed-ness, how about using xmllint? > test-patch.sh should have an xml plugin > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-12031 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12031 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Test > Components: build > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Assignee: Kengo Seki > Labels: newbie, test-patch > Attachments: HADOOP-12031.001.patch, HADOOP-12031.002.patch > > > HADOOP-11178 demonstrates why there is a need to verify xml files on a patch > change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
