validate does not catch repeated use of the same data file in one product

Open msbentley opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

🐛 Describe the bug

Products containing multiple occurences of <File_Area_Observational> referencing the same file are currently not caught by validate, but we believe this should be considered invalid.

🕵️ Expected behavior

validate should report that the same file has been included in two separate File_Area_Observational (or similar) classes.

📚 Version of Software Used

2.0.4

🩺 Test Data / Additional context

repeated_file_area.zip

@msbentley how critical of a bug is this? should we look to get it into our current build? or is this more of a rare occurrence we can get to next build (Spring 2022)

It's not super critical on my side, we've only hit this once and it's already fixed.... So it can wait if you have high priorities!

From @acraugh,

As far as I am aware, this practice is not prohibited. Validate must not be used to impose undocumented standards - the standards change must come first
