Summary

Enhance validation

Why do we need this?

To reduce errors and time spend on trial and error.

What is already there? What do you see now?

Validation works, but there are still things that can slip through.

What is missing? What do you want to see?

I want to make validation check more things. I also want the output to be clearer. Finally I want to be able to validate only one vendor at a time.

How do you propose to implement this?

1. Check casing of filenames; everything should be lowercase (done)
2. Check if there are vendors in the vendor folder which are not in de vendor/index.yaml. This catches cases where people accidentally forgot to add the vendor entry
3. Be able to pass an argument to the validation script, to only validate a specific vendor
4. Check if the vendor has a vendor ID issued by the LoRa Alliance. If not, make sure that vendorProfileID in the profiles are empty (0), as they should be
5. LoRaWAN checks; we may want to add schema validation that the maximum EIRP does not exceed the regulatory limits. Not sure if we can make this water tight, but we can catch some common mistakes here

Can you do this yourself and submit a Pull Request?

Yes
