Timeout when testing OGC API Features

[antjacques]

Dear helpdesk,

We are trying to validate our OGC API Features module linked to GeoServer.

However, after a few minutes the test ends up with a timeout error every time.

I understand that this test is using OGC engine, I suppose they are aware of this issue since validator mentions this:

The thing is that we haven't managed to get a complete test so far after many tries. Are there any fixes that they can implement to improve the availability?
Here is the test report: Test run on 11_27 - 13.09.2024 with test suite Conformance Class OGC API - Features.html.zip

Many thanks

Dear @antjacques,

it seems that the issue is related to the OGC Validator.
When I attempted to validate your service using the Official OGC Validator, the validation process never finished.

We will further investigate the issue.

In the meantime, you can use the Beta OGC Validator, which seems to be working.

Thanks @fabiovinci !

Can you provide me the address of the Beta Team Engine REST API so I can try it out on my side? I cannot find it in the link you provided.

Kind regards

Dear @antjacques,

the Beta Team Engine REST API should be available at the following link: https://cite.opengeospatial.org/te2/rest/suites/

It seems the timeout error persists, so we opened an issue in the related OGC repository

Dear @antjacques,

Looking at the answer provided by OGC, it seems that the Beta OGC Validator (which uses revision 1.7.1 of the OGC API Features test suite) include a fix for limiting the tested data.
For this reason, it can complete the validation of your services without errors.

The fix will soon be available in the Official OGC Validator and consequently in the INSPIRE Validator.

Many thanks @fabiovinci

I tried to test the beta validator with the REST API but it seems that an authentication is actually needed to perform the test suite with the URL that you provided.
I guess this can wait until the upcoming release in production by OGC. Will the test in the INSPIRE validator be automatically updated? Or will there be a delay?

Dear @antjacques,

for the OGC Beta Validator, you can register here: https://cite.opengeospatial.org/te2/viewSessions.jsp

I confirm that the INSPIRE Validator is automatically updated with the latest version of the OGC Validator.
