Undeclared content is not flagged as a warning in EPUBCheck 5
CircularKen opened this issue · comments
Recently had a few EPUBs returned from a client due to them failing Apple's Transporter checks.
I realise now that through my hand editing some content was commented out from the OPF but not removed from the package folders.
I had checked using Pagina EPUB-Checker 2.0.10 (EPUBCheck 5.1.0) and Pagina EPUB-Checker 2.0.9 (EPUBCheck 5.0.1) and had not had any flagged warnings. The issue IS flagged as a warning in EPUB-Checker 2.0.9 (EPUBCheck 4.2.6).
I have had a look at the release documentation here for EPUBCheck 5 but didn't see a reference to this, so have I (and Apple…) missed the fact that extra files in an EPUB package are no longer raising a warning in EPUBCheck?… or is there an issue with EPUBcheck? or an issue with Pagina's implementation of it?
Files travelling in the container but not listed in the manifest was downgraded from a warning to a usage message while we were testing spec requirements against epubcheck to get epub 3.3 through W3C process (i.e., it was a case of epubcheck having a rule of its own making as the epub spec doesn't make this a warning).
For more info, see #1465
OK, thanks for the info @mattgarrish
For now we will have to remember to use earlier EPUBcheck before submitting files to Apple!
Closing this issue.
