Do you use relative hyperlinks (<a href=”../../folder/folder/file.htm”>File</a>) in your Flare projects? Would you like to verify that they work in the output without checking manually? Keep reading!
I’ve made a tool that scans all .htm files in the output and tests the relative links. The result is a .txt report that gives you a list of all broken links and corresponding files:
The syntax for running the tool is, for example:
C:\> Checklinks "C:\OutputFolder" "C:\LogFolder"
You can download the tool from here.
Have fun, and let me know if you like it, or if you find bugs!
Does this also work for external links?
I’m working on that. I expect to release a new version within a few days. I’ll keep you posted! 🙂
Version 2 checks external links as well: http://techwritingengineer.com/automated-qa-checking-for-broken-links-in-your-flare-output-now-also-for-http-links/
