In xmlschema 4.0 it started to throw a more generic XMLSchemaValidationError - I guess there are many things that can trigger validation check and in the new version some other issue gets there first.
I don't like this, but PyPI makes it really, really hard to "discover"
optional deps and what they're used for. So it's just easier to make it
a mandatory dependency and advanced users can always strip it out. This
stops user reports about "it doesn't work out of the box I only did pip
install ifctester"
The IDS documentation used to state that "optional" on requirement
facets was "for information only" and didn't affect the pass / fail
state. This was changed a while ago (which I missed) to a new behaviour:
both no values and passing values will pass.
Previously Bonsai would show a wall of errors, now it's show a simple error message and redirecting to system console for the details.

Same details but in text:
Validation error details:

Previously for both cardinality optional/required ifctester would show same results.
E.g.
<ids:property dataType="IFCBOOLEAN" cardinality="required">
<ids:property dataType="IFCBOOLEAN" cardinality="optional">
Were resulting in something like
LoadBearing data shall be true and in the dataset Pset_WallCommon
LoadBearing data shall be true and in the dataset Pset_WallCommon
Now it will result in
LoadBearing data shall be true and in the dataset Pset_WallCommon
LoadBearing data may be true and in the dataset Pset_WallCommon
The input value can be a string or number, but 1.0 schema only accepts strings. The processing of int and float was missing. The casting to string might no longer be needed in IDS 1.1. https://github.com/buildingSMART/IDS/issues/342
