Repository validation

This is where the validation rules that run against the various repository categories live.

Structure

• All validation rules are in the directory for their category.
• Validation rules that aplies to all categories are in the common directory.
• There is one file pr. rule.
• All rule needs tests to verify every possible outcome for the rule.
• It's better with multiple files than a big rule.
• All rules uses ValidationBase or ActionValidationBase as the base class.
• The ActionValidationBase are for checks that will breaks compatibility with with existing repositories (default), so these are only run in github actions.
• The class name should describe what the check does.
• Only use validate or async_validate methods to define validation rules.
• If a rule should fail, raise ValidationException with the failure message.

Example

from custom_components.hacs.validate.base import (
    ActionValidationBase,
    ValidationBase,
    ValidationException,
)


class AwesomeRepository(ValidationBase):
    def validate(self):
        if self.repository != "awesome":
            raise ValidationException("The repository is not awesome")

class SuperAwesomeRepository(ActionValidationBase, category="integration"):
    async def async_validate(self):
        if self.repository != "super-awesome":
            raise ValidationException("The repository is not super-awesome")
