Bug on Portlet validation

Plone Support Add-on Development

Are there any example on how to validate a portlet field?

I tried to use the constraint attribute, but portlet input form is not treating the Invalid exception and showing the error message.. it gives me this traceback:

Traceback (innermost last):

This is the code of the constraint I'm using:

def validCodeConstraint(value):
    """Validate code inserted into control panel configlet fields.
    :param value: code to be validated
    :type value: unicode
    :return: True if code is valid
    :rtype: bool
    :raises:
        :class:`~zope.interface.Invalid` if the code is not valid
    """
    if value:
        parser = etree.HTMLParser(recover=False)
        try:
            etree.HTML(value, parser)
        except Exception as e:
            raise Invalid(_(u'Invalid code: ') + e.message)
    return True


class IBluelinePortlet(IPortletDataProvider):

    '''Blueline Portlet.'''

    embed = schema.Text(
        title=_(u'Embedding code'),
        required=False,
        constraint=validCodeConstraint,
    )

You're mixing things and rising the wrong exception:

class InvalidHTMLCode(ValidationError):
    """The code is invalid."""


def validateHTMLCode(code):
    """Validate code inserted into portlet."""
    if code:
        parser = etree.HTMLParser(recover=False)
        try:
            etree.HTML(code, parser)
        except etree.XMLSyntaxError:
            raise InvalidHTMLCode
    return True

Check the documentation for more information.
