Hi, That is what we do now. Attached two screenshots: Out-of-the-box Oxygen behavior (dita file not from our repository, but from the file system) -> attached file: non_repository_conrefed_file_not_found.png Behavior for a dita document from our repository, handled through our custom plug-in (which is a FileNotFound) -> attached file: from_repository_conrefed_file_not_found.png If possible we would like to see the same [Target file not found] error and the details when hoovering over the error icon. getCanonicalFileFromFileUrl is indeed in our CustomProtocolHandler. I think we get the file not found error because it is raised at the time Oxygen wants to open the file to get the conrefed content. But I think we need to validate somewhere earlier in the process if the conrefed document exists and throw the correct exception there? -Pascal www.sdl.com SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.

About your remark:

For the moment we return a new File(tothenonexistingpath) in getCanonicalFileFromFileUrl where in the code is that? In your custom url connection handler? Can you give me more details?

Hi,

When handling conrefs to objects that no longer exist in our CMS, we would like to handle this the same way as regular dita files with the same issue.

E.g

<noteid="GUID-364D534C-E105-4CA7-81B5-FA910387D630"conref="./Jenkins/n onexistingfile.dita">

Results in a ‘[Target file not found]’ error with more details when you hover over.

For the moment we return a new File(tothenonexistingpath) in getCanonicalFileFromFileUrl, which results in the erro:

xxx\GUID-C2F39B76-FDC6-4E7C-80E1-36E7BC635FBA (The system cannot find the file specified)

Is there a way we can raise the same error from our custom code?

Kind regards,

Pascal
