Just to be clear, the error from the original poster was thrown from the ‘validate-source-patterns’ task, which is a dependency of the ‘validate’ task of precommit and doesn’t use the Ref Guide tooling. It just happened to dislike something it found in a file that happens to be used for the Ref Guide. Ref Guide validation, where the Ref Guide tooling is used, happens in the ‘documentation’ task so the culprit here is more likely the Rat tooling that’s used to validate all source files. Cassandra
