758754 - Validator fails to parse apparently valid install.rdf

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Add-on Validation, defect)

Description

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

I noticed this in the latest compatibility validation:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/biblionru-toolbar/validation-result/110818

I get 2 errors:

Cannot Parse install.rdf
Error: The install.rdf file could not be parsed.
install.rdf
Add-on missing install.rdf.

Error: All add-ons require an install.rdf file.

The file is still there because I can download it, and the install.rdf looks normal enough:

We are getting this same error. Install.rdf seems fine but we get the same could not be parsed error message.

The Biblion.ru Toolbar add-on does indeed have a syntactically incorrect install.rdf file. The <em:localized> element cannot exist outside of a <Description> tag. The error probably wouldn't mean much anywhere else, but this is rdflib failing ungracefully again. Unfortunately, rdflib also doesn't give us any means of tracing the error or providing the dev with a line number. Unless there's something else that I'm not seeing, this looks like it's just a broken install.rdf.

If you can attach your add-on, I'll have a look and see what might be the problem :)

This is bug 766178, which is a recent and unrelated problem.
