[Script] WME Validator v2021.3.5 (+ PLACES BETA)

[sketch]

But like WMECH and TB, I would be happy to see more granular control over Validator's reported errors so that individual errors such as this could be toggled off.

Easily done. If you don't want to see "Street name on two-way Ramp", put "!28" ("not 28") in the "Reported as" field on the [Magnifying glass] page. You can see the numbers by hovering over the report name in the left panel. Separated by commas, you can turn off any checks you like by including a string like "!28,!128", or show only certain checks by using a string like "28,128".

As for turning it off completely, it's pretty useful in the USA, so we'd like to keep it. Of course, berestovskyy can add or remove any particular check for any particular country... but good luck finding him......

[sketch]

It's just a regular userscript, so I can't see where there would be a difference between TamperMonkey and GreaseMonkey here. Unless there's another bug that is only present on Firefox that hasn't been fixed this way. But I'll look into it closer in a couple of hours.

There is also a Chrome Web Store version, for which this apparently will not work.

So if Mr. berestovskyy , ever does come back to this script, it would be great if there as a shut off button for the report, so the script is not using memory to compile a report i am not going to use.

I hope he will because this is one of the most useful scripts. Thanks for you work. JD

By default I don't have it running.

But then it doesn't do anything

It would be nice to disable logging so that highlights could still be displayed, without using the memory to compile the report that is seldom used.

Plenty of scripts highlight without building a log that you can read. Validator is the only one that continues to hold the identities of those segments long after they're off screen, until cleared manually.

Understandable given its design to scan larger sections of the map, but many don't use it that way, so it's an unnecessary extra step.

[sketch]

Just for the record, I, and I assume others use the log. It's particularly useful in large areas of base map to highlight and quickly find problems. I didn't know it kept a log when just being run passively, though.

Indeed, which is why the suggestion is to allow users to turn off logging. I would not suggest gutting the core functionality of the script just to save some annoyance every once in a while

If Waze gives a route through a 1-way segment in the wrong direction, this should be reported in CC as a bug so that it will be fixed sometime in the future. If it was already reported, please give a link to the report.

You are not wrong. It is a bug, and should be reported as such, if it isn't already. It's so long-standing, though, that it long predates Centercode, and we've mapped to fix it for many, many years, and so it'll be hard to find a reproducible example, and anyway, it's very well ingrained into our mapping guidance. Also, as it's caused by such a deep and fundamental method of the routing system and the way it integrates with the app, I imagine it's not an easy fix, either.

I do not see this problem.

What browser are you using and what other extensions do you run at the same time?

This is in the beta editor.

I see it was "temporarily disabled", but are we going to get the "unneeded node A/B" back in a release anytime soon. It's a lot faster to send a new user a report with these listed in it then trying to PL them all myself.

Thanks

Time for everyone to learn how to use WMECH to do a lot of the same work!

Hello,

I have just installed your script to try it out - on Firefox from GreasyFork. Script is working, it is validating segments, but I decided to try also displaying of the report and that is where I have issue. I search some area (play button), it finds issues, Show report button is enabled/red, I click on it, new tab opens and it immediately closes. It closes so fast I do not even get to see URL of that report, nothing, just blink. Can somebody please help me what to do?

Thanks.
