You are doing nothing wrong (except that you trying to use a tool for a task that it's not meant to be used for). I think the documentation is giving wrong expectations: validate-tree DIRECTORY Validate AppStream XML metadata found in a file-tree. Using strace I see that `appstreamcli validate-tree data/org.file.krita` looks at the following two folders (which don't exist) and at nothing else: data/org.file.krita/usr/share/metainfo data/org.file.krita/share/metainfo It seems that validate-tree is meant to be used on installed AppStream XML metadata, e.g. the file tree prepared for an AppImage as .../AppDir/usr/share/ metainfo, but not on arbitrary folder hierarchies containing AppStream files.

Basically what I'm trying to do is some kind of validation for uploaded addons. (it'll upload archive to server, unpack it to some temp folder and checks content). It'll have app specific validation, but I hoped I could use existing tooling (appstreamcli) as much as possible. "appstreamcli validate-tree" should be able to validate metafile, but also screenshots, icons and other things mentioned there. But as you said, that's not possible. Okay, I'll use "appstreamcli validate" and check the rest manually. Or is there better way? On Tue, Feb 25, 2025, 21:23 Ingo Kl?cker wrote: > On Dienstag, 25.
