Magento 2 Marketplace Upload Validation Tool (Quick Note)
Magento’s lead architect, Alan Kent, just posted a small command line program to validate a “composer zip archive” for Magento Marketplace. Magento Marketplace is the replacement for Magento Connect, and although its details remain a secret, its assumed to be an in browser Magento application for installing composer based packages into Magento 2 systems.
Part of the submission process includes zipping up a composer archive and submitting it to Magento. The script Alan Kent provided performs some basic validation on that archive to make sure its something the Marketplace system will be able to work with.
It’s a little weird that this sort of validation won’t be included in Marketplace, or that the messaging around the validation isn’t clear, but the validation program is welcome regardless.
