Automatic checks

Auto Check (Components > Auto Check) validates the current page after every successful Selenese command. (That is not necessarily on every page reload - e.g. it may skip pages that redirect.) You can use some standard checks (with optional configuration) or create custom ones.

Negative checks

Negative checks validate that given selector(s) don’t match any elements on the page. That’s useful if your web server, framework or programming language report errors/warnings/notices in some kind of fixed format.

There is a standard negative validation for PHP.

Ignored checks

Ignored checks are a special type of negative checks. Once you (or someone else) notice a bug via a negative check, you don’t want it to be reported again (until it gets fixed). You can mark such bug as ignored.

Standard PHP detection class supports this (which works with Xdebug or without it). You fill in XPath logical condition(s) that match bugs to be ignored. Alternatively, you can create a custom detection class and provide the logic to filter out ignored bugs.

Positive checks

Positive checks validate that the page contains elements that match given selector(s). However, it can’t validate that HTML of a page conforms to HTML standard. That’s because Firefox automatically fixes incorrect HTML and it adds missing necessary elements.

Configuration

Configure these checks at chrome:// URL chrome://selite-settings/content/tree.xul?module=extensions.selite-settings.common. In order to use Auto Check you must select at least autoCheckDetector or autoCheckDetectorCustom. Other fields are optional.

(Those fields are not defined in chrome://selite-settings/content/common_settings_module.js. Instead, they are added on the fly by chrome://selite-auto-check/content/SeLiteExtensionSequencerManifest.js).
