Project-level Validation and Error Messages
Introduction
When you click the name of a project the system displays a Validate button on the project Details tab. With the release of v7.4, this button is located at the bottom of the screen on the Validate tab. When you click this button the system reviews your project and provides a list of violations and warnings in your modeled content, which is a useful check for some common modeling errors. The system prompts you to review, ignore, or correct each issue. It also allows you to select an error and, for some of the issues, request that the system perform the error resolution.
The table below contains a list of possible warnings and typical corrective actions to take for each item in the list. The system displays the error but also provides the name of the logicnet, node, and path, as appropriate, to make it easier for you to find where the error occurs.
Project Validation Steps
- In LogicNets Releases up to and including 7.3 navigate to the project, click the project name, and then click on the validation button.
- In LogicNets Release 7.4, the validation button is located next to the search button at the bottom of the screen. You can resize this panel by dragging the top bar up (1), and you can minimize it by using the window icons on the right (2).
- Review the results using the filtering options.
- Flag the items as Resolved or Ignore by clicking each individual checkbox or by clicking the checkbox next to Type to select all.
- Reset the list if necessary using the Reset ignored button.
- Run the validation prior to publishing each time to verify that no additional warnings have been triggered.

Update the topic and fix the references. |
| 000104 Manual |
Message: "A <project item type> with name: '<item name>' already exists." This warning indicates that another item with the same name already exists in the project. Duplicate names can lead to ambiguity and unexpected behavior in your application; for example, a call node may call the wrong logicnet with the same name. |
Make sure that your project items have unique names. |
| 000105 Automatic |
Message: "Unused project resource: '<full-file-path>' found on the server." This warning indicates that the system can find the file on the server but that the project does not use it. |
Click Resolve to remove the unused resource from the server. |
| 000106 Manual |
Message: "Could not find project resource: '<full-file-path>' on the server." This error indicates that they system cannot find the file on the server. |
Delete the project item and recreate it by uploading the resource. |
| 000107 Manual |
Message: "Error loading logicnet: '<logicnet name>'." This error indicates that the LogicNets runtime could no longer read the logicnet. |
Try to restore a previous version of the logicnet or open the project's Code tab and fix the syntax in the code definition. |
| 000108 Manual |
Message: "Invalid logicnet name: '<logicnet name>'." This error indicates that the logicnet name contains illegal characters. |
Update the name of the logicnet. |
| 000109 Manual |
Message: "Called logicnet is not specified." This error indicates that no logicnet has been specified in the call node. |
Specify the logicnet to call. |
| 000110 Manual |
Message: "Call node is not using: call-by-name." This warning indicates that the call node is still using the 'call-by-id' method to call a logicnet. Though the system still supports 'call-by-id', we recommend you use the safer 'call-by-name' method, as logicnets ids can change when logicnets they copied or moved. |
Open the Code tab in the node editor and add the following line to the code: 'match_name = "yes"'. Ensure that the called logicnet is unique in the project. |
| 000111 Manual |
Message: "Call node uses interpolation, can't check for the existence of logicnet: '<logicnet name>'." This warning indicates that the system will only resolve the name of the called logicnet at runtime by interpolating a data object. Because of this, the system cannot verify if the called logicnet exists. |
Ensure that the called logicnet exists with the name identified. |
| 000112 Manual |
Message: "Called logicnet: '<logicnet name>', could not be found in library project: '<lib name>'." This error indicates that the system could not find the given logicnet in the referenced (library) package. |

| 000140 Automatic |
Message: "The script contains $(...) which can induce XSS vulnerabilities." This warning indicates that there is a risk that the interpolated data may allow for malicious code injection, which could permit a security breach. |
Turn on the Escape $(..)-script option to escape the dynamic content, or use $(html(...)) to whitelist the interpolated data when it can be fully trusted. You can also use $(escape_html(...)) or $(encode_js(...)) to escape/encode the interpolated data. Click Resolve to turn on the Escape $(..)-script option. |
| 000142 Manual |
Message: "Referenced package: '%s' does not exist." It is possible to give a called logicnet the name of a package or alias. This error indicates that the system cannot find the package. |
Check the package name or alias. Make sure that you have the package with the correct package name installed in your environment. |
| 000143 Manual |
Message: "The package-alias: '<alias>' can only be resolved at run-time, not able to check for the existence of the called logicnet." It is possible to give a logicnet a package alias. This message indicates that the system can only resolve the alias at runtime, which means it is not possible to verify that the called logicnet exists. |

| 000145 Manual |
Message: "A path or collection name cannot start with '_in.' or '_out.'." This error indicates that you are using '__in' and '__out' in the path or collection name. These are names reserved for function parameters and cannot be used in regular paths or collection names. Note: Each function has its own '__in' and '__out' data objects, which can only be used within the function scope itself. The system will not pass them to subsequently called logicnets. If you need to pass the '__in' and/or '__out' data objects to a subsequently called logicnet, use the "Set Data Object value" part with "Data object type" set to "container" to create a copy. |
Change the path or collection name. |
| 000146 Automatic |
Message: "The script contains redirect code that can induce XSS vulnerabilities." This warning indicates that there is a risk that the interpolated data may allow users to insert malicious code to redirect your users to an unsafe location. |
Use the Redirect session part to perform redirections. This part ensures that redirects are only made to whitelisted locations. Click Resolve to change to the Redirect session part. Note: This automatic resolution is only possible when the redirect code is the only code in the script, otherwise you must manually add the Redirect session part. |
| 000148 Automatic |
Message: "Unsupported self-closing HTML5 tags found." This warning indicates that there are self-closing tags in the project content that will not render correctly at runtime. |
Click Resolve to convert these tags to a regular HTML tag pair. |
| 000160 Manual |
