visitXmlAttribute question

Hello Stefan,

SA> I'm just getting my feet wet with plugin development so please
SA> excuse me for silly questions :)
SA>
SA> I have a really simple LocalInspectionTool that checks for invalid
SA> xml attributes. I do something like this:
SA>
SA> public void visitXmlAttribute(XmlAttribute attribute)
SA> {
SA> if (attribute.getName().equals("foo"))
SA> {
SA> if (attribute.getValue().equals("bar"))
SA> {
SA> problemsHolder.registerProblem(
SA> attribute,
SA> "invalid.attribute.test"
SA> );
SA> }
SA> }
SA> }
SA> When I create a html file and add a foo=bar attribute to a tag it is
SA> correctly marked with "invalid.attribute.test". Cool. But it is
SA> marked 5 times :) I don't understand where the duplicate warnings
SA> come from.

The visitor returned from the inspection tool must not be inherited from
PsiRecursiveElementVisitor.

Ok I now inherit from PsiElementVisitor and simply provide an empty visitReferenceExpression(). That seems to work much better!


Two additional questions:


ProblemHighlightType only defines a few simple error classes and none really apply to the kind of error that I am finding in the xml. I used GENERIC_ERROR_OR_WARNING in my code but that results in a yellow highlight and not a red error, which is really should be. How do I do the latter?


I'm working on plugin to support a html based template language. The template language adds some additional attributes in their own namespace to html. For example < a href="#" my:id="foo" >Foo< /a >. IDEA correctly marks the my:id as 'Attribute my:id' is not allowed here. Is there a way to override that or remove the error?

Return HighlightDisplayLevel.ERROR from LocalInspectionTool.getDefaultLevel().
