The current version of the plugin has the ability to download new versions of EPUBCheck directly from Github, so there is no need to update the plugin every time a new version is released.

If you look at your EpubCheck.json, you will find something like this:

{
"check_interval": 7,
"clipboard_copy": false,
"close_cb": true,
"github": true,
"is32bit": false,
"java_path": "java",
"last_time_checked": "2020-06-24 10:10:16.473000",
"locale": "pt-BR",
"usage": true
}

If you want to force an update check, just change the "last_time_checked" key to a date that represents an interval bigger than defined in the "check_interval" key.

Thanks. I've managed to update by replacing the .jar file and lib. But I'll know the better way to update for the next time.

First time using the epubCheck Plugin. Please let me know, if I am posting in wrong place.

I ran epubcheck on my new EPUB created (used a chrome extension to create the epub from web pages). I am a beginner and self-teaching.

I have 32 errors of similar message. How do I work out
a) what it is trying to tell me ?
b) impact if I click "try to FIX automatically" (how do I see the impact before clicking it as I am so green new to EPUBs I doubt I will notice change?)

On LHS of screen, it says
Expected (left | right | center | justify match-paretn | start | end ) but found -webkit-left (OEBPS/style/style208568.css)

On RHS of screen it says when I click on first error
Error [1 / 32]
OEBPS/style/style208568.css (line: 1 column: 19639)
Properties should be known (listed in CSS3 specification) or be a vendor-prefixed property. See detailed description.
Try to correct all fixable errors automatically

Thankyou kindly for any guidance and your time to read this post.

In the future, you might want to post general EPUBCheck questions in the EPUB forum. (This forum is intended for reporting plugin bugs.)

Also, it looks like you used the built-in Calibre Editor error checker and not the EPUBCheck plugin.

It's always a good idea to have Calibre Editor fix all errors automatically. (You can tell that it worked by re-running the check.)

Any chance this can be updated to work with the upcoming Python 3 version of Calibre?

Unless Kovid introduces some unexpected last-minute changes, the plugin should also work with the Python 3 version of Calibre.

This thread says it's not.

I'm guessing there's many calibre plugin authors who have no idea they're expected to notify someone when they've gotten their plugins ready for the next calibre version (or that they even need to modify their plugins). It's not like there's an official plugin-author notification system in place.

So "This thread says it's not" is a tad misleading. It would be more correct to say, "This thread (that many plugin devs may or may not know exists) doesn't know if it is ready or not."

And the bottom line is: THIS thread and its version-history is the definitive authority on what/what not this plugin is, in fact, ready for. As it should be.

I'm trying to use this plugin with Java portable 64 bit
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilit...va_portable_64



I changed the json file in

{
  "locale" : "en",
  "usage" : true,
  "java_path": "C:\Portable\Java64\bin\java.exe,"
  "is32bit": false, 
  "github": true, 
  "check_interval": 7 
}

Get this error

calibre, version 5.0.1

Then .json file return to default every time.

On Windows machines, you'll need to use two backslashes in path names.

Try:

"java_path": "C:\\Portable\\Java64\\bin\\java.exe",

Tried, but I get the same error

{
  "locale" : "en",
  "usage" : true,
  "java_path": "C:\\Portable\\Java64\\bin\\java.exe,"
  "is32bit": false, 
  "github": true, 
  "check_interval": 7 
}

I'm sorry there was a typo in the json entry.
The comma needs to be at the end of the line:

Change:


"java_path": "C:\\Portable\\Java64\\bin\\java.exe,"

To:

"java_path": "C:\\Portable\\Java64\\bin\\java.exe",

Great, thanks, it works...
According to you, copying portable java inside Calibre folders, is it possible to refer to a java.exe folder without writing the full path?
Something like this

  "java_path": "\\Java64\\bin\\java.exe",

copying Java64 folder in the same path oh the .json file (or something like this)

..\Calibre Portable\Calibre Settings\plugins

I haven't tried this, but it might work. You'll probably have to specify the Java path relative to the plugins folder or the Calibre Python interpreter path.
