Trouble finding rule on github

1

Checking “Positive Begriffe in grün”

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d 'text=Positive%20Begriffe%20in%20gr%C3%BCn&language=de-DE&enabledOnly=false' 'https://api.languagetoolplus.com/v2/check'

I get this message for the rule id IN_WEISS
"In dieser Wendung scheint der Farbname als Nomen gebraucht zu werden und ist deshalb großzuschreiben (‚ein Traum in Weiß‘, ‚die Farbe Lila‘).",

There seems to be a typo here (“, ‚die Farbe Lila”) but I was then looking for this on github and could not find it anywhere to be able to submit a bug fix.

I had a similar issue with the rule on “but”, where it says “But sounds too negative” and I was unable to find this rule on the sourcecode.

Hi Lukas, IN_WEISS is in de/grammar.xml, currently in line 55829.

ok I figured out where I went wrong: github doesn’t seem to index these large files and therefore if you use their search, nothing comes back. so I guess I need to always search on a local checkout instead.

But what I don’t get is why ‚ein Traum in Weiß‘, ‚die Farbe Lila‘ is returned given that the text seems to have been correct since forever, ie 'ein Traum in Weiß', 'die Farbe Lila'

That’s because there’s a post-processing step that changes the quote characters.

ok, then it seems like there is a bug there or rather the use of the lower single quotes makes it look like there is a typo there with two comma.
