Using Jtidy to parsing HTML

Question

I am using Jtidy I pass an InputSteam and then I tried to validate whether or not the XHTML code in the InputSteam is valid.

InputStream s = new ByteArrayInputStream(my_string).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
tidy.setXHTML(true);

tidy.parse(s, System.out);

I would like to validate my test, true or false instead of printing this to the console: 5 warnings, no errors were found!

If I get 1 error how do I make my JUnit reflect a fail?

I noticed that no matter what my string looks like it gets parsed as valid always I tried this:

String my_string = "TABLE width = 400 &&&& table height = ";

That gets parsed as valid without any errors.

Answer 1

Try replacing the last line with something like this:

tidy.setErrout(null);
tidy.parse(s, null);
Assert.assertEquals(0,tidy.getParseErrors());

Answer 2

I had the same question/problem. This is how I solved it:

String validHtml = "some valid html";
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(validHtml.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
tidy.setXmlTags(true);

tidy.parse(inputStream, null);

System.out.println("errors "+tidy.getParseErrors());
System.out.println("warnings "+tidy.getParseWarnings());
assertTrue("HTML has errors and it should not.",tidy.getParseErrors()==0);

The trick is in setXMLTags(true).
