Re: [atf-dev] javascript validator slowness

One idea that we are thinking of implementing is something analogous to the .cvsignore file. We would call it .jsvalidateignore or something like that. The concept is that we will have the JS validator look at for this file in every folder and determine what should be validated. A good use for this is to be able to ignore the entire set of _javascript_ files of an Ajax runtime/framework. A user of Dojo does not really care about errors inside Dojo because he either does not know how to fix them or is really out of his control.

Thanks,

IMHO WTP validation is subpar speed wise in general.
And ATF uses the WTP validation framework. :-\

Yet you can disable it either globally in the prefs, or for a project in
the project properties.
You can also always "kill" a currently running validation in the
progress view.
I typically use the global validation prefs such that it is set to be
only manual  (ie not triggered by a build) and invoke it manually now
and then.
I did also define a keybing of rth validate command in the prefs
(Uncategorized ?validate ) to make that process less of a PITA.

If you have some ideas to make it work better and faster in general that
would be nice.
May be something like incremental validation would help quite a bit!
Cordially
