[x3d-public] HAnim diagnostics autogenerated from X3DUOM

[Don Brutzman]

In general, am not putting url links in diagnostic output because they tend to work in plain-text console mode first.

When obscure, such links sometimes can be found in the source.

Links also appear in X3D XML Schema and X3DUOM for authoritative paragraphs on nodes, statements, field types, etc.  These continue to point to X3Dv3.3 until we are ready to release X3D4.

Many tests (perhaps the majority) are just enforcing regular X3D rules like strict typing and accessType restrictions, so the diagnostic response tends to be straightforward.

Best reference for what you suggest: additional links for Hints and Warnings and related documentation appear throughout the nodes, statements, fields and field types in the X3D Tooltips so you can go there and frequently find an explanation.  These have been refined steadily as we work through examples and problems.  Additions and refinements are always welcome.

thanks

we continue to wait for an update that is supported by tools.

when that glorious day of json sunshine arrives, it will be straightforward to apply best practices and design patterns for X3D JSON Schema using X3DUOM.  That is already occurring for some diagnostics (reported earlier in this thread), Java, Python and Turtle.

have a nice X3D day!  8)

all the best, Don
