Wrong error shown

[leo]

I don't understand why html-proofer shows me this error, the video is still online and accessible:

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/vEYKRhETy4A 🌀

Could you please check this?

A 429 means that there have been too many requests made to that URL: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23367215/213345

If I had to guess, probably the link to the YouTube video is being tested far too often, and as a result, YouTube is not accepting more requests from html-proofer.

The solution for right now would be to mark the link as ignored, through href_ignore.

#223 might be an option in the future.

Thanks for the quick response! 😊

I searched for a Regex which filters for YouTube-links and found this one: ^(https?\:\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.?be)\/.+$

How can I pass it to the href_ignore parameter? Since it only takes an array of Strings or Regexes, I've tried the following:

--href_ignore [ ^(https?\:\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.?be)\/.+$ ]

But this doesn't seem to work. Should I put the Regex between two 's, or what did I do wrong?

@penibelst I've followed the description on the Stack Overflow article and wrapped the Regex in in non-escaped forward slashes (the other forward slashes we're already escaped):

--href_ignore /^(https?\:\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.?be)\/.+$/

However it still doesn't work. What did I do wrong? Here's the log from Travis CI.

The CLI option is --href-ignore. Note the hyphen in the middle.

What? It's still not working. I must be missing something obvious here.

For ignoring links that start with https://youtu.be/ use

htmlproof ./_site --href-ignore /^https:\/\/youtu\.be\//

Yeeehaa! It works — finally! Thanks you, @penibelst! 😀

Looks like the previous Regex was a bit broken.
