Improve Source Analyze function

Open CecSve opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

In the source page of a resource, when you click 'options' --> 'Analyse' you do not get any result. There appears to be something running for a couple of seconds, but the page remains the same. Are you supposed to see some analytics here?

Thanks Cecilie

No, it's actually not supposed to show anything. This is to ping the source to make sure it's readable

what happens if it is not readable? @ahahn-gbif and I agree it would be nice with some visible outcome, otherwise, it seems almost like it does not do anything

As a user, I had expected something like a breakdown of results of tests, similar to the publish button dialogue, or at least a feedback message showing something like "source can be read" (or maybe rather "source structurally correct" or similar - "readable" does not mean a lot to many users)

It's old IPT functionality. I agree it'd be useful to improve it in the future
