Commas in certain values fails validation

[carlgleisner]

Hi 👋🏻 Wish I could be more helpful regarding this but a fresh Normal.dotm generated on a sv-SE localised system throws the following errors on validation.

I pasted the CSV of the logs below.

I managed to work around this issue by removing the commas from the fields in question.

I do not expect any fix, just wanted to let you know in case you are interested.

Id,Description,Namespaces,NamespacesDefinitions,XPath,PartUri,ErrorType
"""Sem_AttributeValueDataTypeDetailed""","""The attribute 'http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main:val' has invalid value 'Konfidentiellt, Sidnr, Datum'. The Pattern constraint failed. The expected pattern is ^[^,]*$.""",{},"[
  ""xmlns:w=\""http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\""""
]","""/w:glossaryDocument[1]/w:docParts[1]/w:docPart[51]/w:docPartPr[1]/w:name[1]""","""/word/glossary/document.xml""","""Schema"""
"""Sem_AttributeValueDataTypeDetailed""","""The attribute 'http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main:val' has invalid value 'Författare, Sidnr, Datum'. The Pattern constraint failed. The expected pattern is ^[^,]*$.""",{},"[

This is the passage in glossary/Document.xml which causes the issue.

<w:docPartPr>
    <w:name w:val="Konfidentiellt, Sidnr, Datum" />
    <w:style w:val="Sidhuvud/sidfot" />
    <w:category>
        <w:name w:val="Allmänt" />
        <w:gallery w:val="autoTxt" />
    </w:category>
    <w:behaviors>
        <w:behavior w:val="content" />
    </w:behaviors>
    <w:guid w:val="[redacted]" />
</w:docPartPr>

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, the validatory extension is a wrapper around the Open-XML-SDK's validation functionality and only reformats the data it receives. There has been a recent major version update of the OOXML SDK, I will update the validator and maybe that will resolve the issue. I'll create a release after the update, so you should get a notice in VS Code.

You notice how cursory my look into this was i think :) Thanks for taking the time to reply, and thank you for your efforts with this extension!

Hi @carlgleisner

I found the issue with the Open-XML-SDK, and filed a bug on their repo: dotnet/Open-XML-SDK#1656. Unfortunately, it appears it will involve major/breaking changes to fix, so it won't be anytime soon that it gets done if at all. I will monitor the issue and if it gets fixed, I'll update the validator and let you know. Thanks for using the extension!
