openqa-validate-yaml(1)

💖 openqa-validate-yaml — the openQA manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found the openQA Documentation page for openqa-validate-yaml, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge main character energy". let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

openqa-validate-yaml — check YAML files against a schema

like. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

openqa-validate-yaml [OPTIONS] [-] [file ...]

that's the vibe. options, then either a - or a pile of files, and off you go 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

you hand openqa-validate-yaml a list of one or more filenames. those files are expected to be YAML files — that's the whole point, no cap. then openqa-validate-yaml goes through each item in the list, one by one, and checks whether the file is valid when tested against a Schema. it's like a vibe check but for YAML. 🔥

and if you don't wanna pass a filename? no problem. you can pass - instead of a filename to read the test input from STDIN. pipe it in, let it cook. 😌

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --validate-schema — this one also validates the Schema file itself, on top of any YAML files you threw at it. double duty, she contains multitudes 👑
• --schema-file=SCHEMA — tells it which schema file or URL to validate against. the default is literally this:

.../public/schema/JobTemplates-01.yaml

so if you don't say anything, that's what she's using. periodt. 💅

• -h — prints a usage message and dips out. instant exit, no small talk. bye bestie 👋

lowkey a reminder: read the options carefully before you run her, because the schema she validates against is the vibe she's checking for 🌈
