What does the Content Validator NOT show errors for?

The Content Validator in Looker is a tool designed to help developers identify issues within their LookML projects. It focuses on various aspects of the model, views, and dashboards to ensure they are set up correctly and adhere to best practices.

When considering what the Content Validator does not show errors for, it is essential to recognize that valid field names are a fundamental requirement in LookML. If a field is named correctly, it typically indicates that it adheres to the syntax rules of Looker and does not present an issue for the validator. As such, the Content Validator does not flag valid field names as an error, since they are an expected part of a well-formed LookML model.

In contrast, issues such as lacking develop permissions, models being excluded from the project, or misconfigurations in dashboards would indeed generate errors in the Content Validator because they represent significant obstacles to the proper functioning and usability of the LookML code within a project.
