Hi friends,

Is there a way to customize the order to validation?

By default, the validator check the model then the rest elements one by one.
How can i skip one element and check it at the end of file?

For instance,
element 1
element 2
element 3
element 4

The checking order is customized to
element 1
element 3
element 4
element 2

Thanks

I know of only one way: use a checker to call the methods used to check each element, one by one.

@Check
public void checkByOrder(YourModel model){

  // Traverse your AST to go to element 1
  checkElement1();
  // Traverse your AST to go to element 2
  checkElement2();
  ...

}

yes this is an option to define the check rule for the root/parent.
btw why do you want to check in a specific order.
the validator should be stateless.

Hi, yes, this way works.
Eh, there is a late-reference which only evaluate at the end of the file.

Hi I don't get it. You can use @Check(CheckType.Normal)
If you want the check to be executed on save only
