Mjml: Element mj-include doesn't exist or is not registered

[eddjoke]

I am using mjml 3.3.0 and I am getting this error when validating the mjml syntax.

I get this error after running mjml --validate src/templates/*.mjml command:

Line 9 (mj-include) — Element mj-include doesn't exist or is not registered
Line 57 (mj-include) — Element mj-include doesn't exist or is not registered

I have fixed the rendering issue (https://github.com/mjmlio/mjml/issues/542) by giving filePath parameter to mjml2html, so the files are rendered ok, but the validation fails.

Hello @eddjoke

Sorry for that, but mjml --validate doesn't support mj-include. I agree that the error isn't really clear about it, it should say that it can't validate any mj-included file yet.

Hey there,

But is it possible to config validator and disable that rule? My validation test fails if any messages are returned, so I cannot use this native functionality in CI scripts.

Can you say if your code is written without spaces in the attribute assignment?
I started to use Visual Studio's Align extension to visually align the attributes, and it complained on the mj-include 'path'. Didn't even compiled the included file.

I use Align to get code like this, just so that is becomes more easy on the eye:

  <mj-section
      background-color   = "#f0f0f0"
      padding-top        = "0"
      padding-bottom     = "0">

      <mj-column >
          <mj-image
              href       = "somepath"
              src        = "someotherpath" />
      </mj-column>
  </mj-section>

  <mj-include
       path              = "../whatever_path" />

I had no problems with this, except the \

<mj-include path="../whatever_path" />

Could it be that?

Hi @urbgimtam

My code is written without any additional whitespaces. I always trying to keep code neat and tidy.

You may still have the same problem, since as @iRyusa said that mjml --validate doesn't support mj-include, but I would like mjml validator to be fully customisable.

Yep, totally agree: couldn't we just disable this error message?
When I'm editing my emails, I always have this tooltip showing and it becomes very irritating (it hides the bottom line).

[iRyusa]

In MJML4, we're now supporting nested validation through include so it won't happens.

What's your editor @nagman it shouldn't behave like that ?

I'm using Atom with the language-mjml and linter-mjml plugins

Thanks for reporting. This is now fixed in MJML 4.0.0-beta.2 so I'm closing!

Please upgrade with npm install mjml@next to use the latest beta.
