Is there a way to resolve any xml-file that causes an error?

I cannot find the source file that causes this error (happens on checkout): 

Magento\Framework\Config\Dom\ValidationException): Element 'item', attribute 'after': The attribute 'after' is not allowed.
Line: 1439

  • @RakeshJesadiya see updated answer. My error happens on checkout page btw – Condor May 24 '18 at 9:30
  • please share your xml file from checkout module/theme which contains after atttribute – Rakesh Jesadiya May 24 '18 at 9:31
  • @RakeshJesadiya updated answer – Condor May 24 '18 at 9:33
  • @Bram error looks like you have added after attributes in referenceContainer somewhere. Please check it may issue. – Nikunj Vadariya May 24 '18 at 9:53

I think the answer is no. :( If you trying to debug the Magento\Framework\Config\Dom class you can see that all data has stored in the memory as a one big file, which leads to unknown place (in my case there was a root directory /var/www/html):

example

So here are some tips:

  1. Try to determine the error location by indirect signs: what modules was setted up before the error comes, which file has %1 node and %2 attribute etc.
  2. Try to search in your project files by keywords %1 and %2 in the xml files.

%1 - 'item'
%2 - 'after'

  1. If you are using the PhpStorm IDE (or similar) you can add the magento .xsd schemas in the settings to enable auto-validation during development:

schemas

As a result you able to see highlighted errors if some of a .xml files has invalid attributes:

result

  1. Good similar tool which does that automatically (for the PhpStorm) is PhpStorm Magento 2 Plugin

How to add the `.xsd` mapping manually in the PhpStorm

Go to the Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > Schemas and DTDs click on the + sign, in the URI field add the xsd path (from the corresponding xml file, could be found as an attribute xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation of the root config node in almost each magento xml file:

where schema could be found in xml

then find corresponding schema location from a project schema list:

project schema list

Click OK.

How to use *PhpStorm* code inspector to validate project xml-files

It's pretty simple:

  • Right-click on the project root directory inspect code menu
  • Select Inspect Code...
  • Click on the ... button near Inspection Profile select menu button in the inspection profile
  • In opened window click on the Gear symbol on the right of the profile name and select Duplicate inspection profile settings
  • Type a name, something like XML inspection, uncheck all checkboxes except the XML one (you can use the eraser button on the top of list)
  • Click OK to save the profile (window closing)
  • Click OK to start check
  • Analise the result :) Example of code inspection by XML

  • Ah thanks for the tips! I use phpstorm (editing files remotely, so I need to have it locally first before I can do this). So the xsd validation will go over your whole project? – Condor May 24 '18 at 9:40
  • @Bram yes, it will validate each file where schema exists – Siarhey Uchukhlebau May 24 '18 at 9:42
  • Hi, @SiarheyUchukhlebau, Please explain how to apply this? – kunj May 24 '18 at 10:50
  • @kunj Hi, what exactly you wish to apply? – Siarhey Uchukhlebau May 24 '18 at 10:50
  • How did you add those .xsd in Phpstorm? – kunj May 24 '18 at 10:52
