CUE v0.18.0

validate data

Usage

cue vet [flags] [inputs]

The vet command validates CUE and other data files. The command is silent when it succeeds; otherwise it reports any errors found.

Input arguments can be CUE packages, CUE files, non-CUE files, or some combinations of those. See "cue help inputs" for more detail.

By default, vet ensures that the result of validation is concrete by reporting an error if any resulting regular fields have non-concrete values. Use -c=false to not require concreteness, or -c to show these error messages.

vet can also validate non-CUE files in these file formats:

  Format       Extensions
	JSON       .json .jsonl .ndjson
	YAML       .yaml .yml
	TOML       .toml
	TEXT       .txt  (validate a single string value)

Data files with multiple values, such as YAML with --- document separators, are validated one object at a time. Use --list to validate them as a list.

By default, each file is checked against the root of the loaded CUE. Use the -d flag to select a schema at a particular expression instead.

Examples:

  # Check that a collection of CUE packages has no errors.
  cue vet -c=false ./...
  # Check against a schema at the root of a CUE file:
  cue vet -c foo.cue foo.yaml
  # Check against a schema from a registry:
  cue vet -c -d '#Workflow' cue.dev/x/githubactions@latest workflow.yml

The -d flag can be repeated to validate against multiple schemas at once.

Flags

-c, --concrete                     require the evaluation to be concrete, or set -c=false to allow incomplete values
-t, --inject stringArray           set the value of a tagged field
-T, --inject-vars                  inject system variables in tags
--list                             concatenate multiple objects into a list
--merge                            merge non-CUE files
-p, --package string               package name for non-CUE files and CUE output
-l, --path stringArray             CUE expression for single path component (see 'cue help flags' for details)
--proto_enum string                mode for rendering enums (int|json)
-I, --proto_path stringArray       paths in which to search for imports
-d, --schema stringArray           expression to select schema for evaluating values in non-CUE files
--with-context                     import as object with contextual data (see 'cue help flags' for details)

Global flags

-E, --all-errors                   print all available errors
-C, --chdir string                 change working directory before running command (must be the first flag)
-i, --ignore                       proceed in the presence of errors
-s, --simplify                     simplify output
