GenWise uses a system of project validations. If project items do not pass certain validations, a validation error icon is displayed next to it. There are two types of validation errors with corresponding icons:
|
Yellow validation error icons indicate validation warnings. Validation warnings do not prevent project items from being used or generated. This indicates however that problems are expected to arise if you try to use the item in some advanced way. |
|
Red validation error icons indicate more serious validation errors. This type of error must be fixed before the project can be successfully regenerated and/or saved. |
Validation errors propagate up the template hierarchy from the template that causes the error, up to the project template. In the example below a validation error in a project item causes the yellow validation error icon to be displayed next to the project item and next to the project node in the Project Explorer.
A tooltip with the validation error message appears if you move the mouse over items that are in validation error state. Validation errors from child nodes are collected in these tooltips. If multiple project items are in error state, the tooltip of the project node will list all validation error messages from these project items.
