App::S...::check(3pm)

💖 App::S...::check — the manual page for App::Sqitch::Command::check 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the land of User Contributed Perl Documentation 🎀 and this is App::S...::check, the module behind the check command. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ Name ✨

App::Sqitch::Command::check — runs various checks and prints a report 🫶

like, it checks stuff. and then it reports. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🌈 Synopsis 🌈

my $cmd = App::Sqitch::Command::check->new(%params);
$cmd->execute;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

💅 Description 💅

okay so real talk: if you're here because you wanna know how to use the check command, you are in the WRONG building bestie 😭 — you want to be reading sqitch-check. that's the one with the user-facing goodness.

but if you genuinely, deeply, unhingedly want to know how the check command works on the inside? then read on, because this page is exactly for you. no cap. 💜

🧚 Interface 🧚

🌸 Attributes 🌸

• target_name — the name or URI of the database target, exactly as it was specified by the --target option. that's the whole thing. 💖
• target — an App::Sqitch::Target object, and it's the thing we perform the checks from. heads up though: it must be instantiated by execute(). like, that's non-negotiable, it's giving dependency injection with boundaries ✋
• from_change — the change from which to check changes. yes that sentence is a little loopy, we said what we said 🫶
• to_change — the change up to which to check changes. matching set, we love symmetry 🌸

🎀 Instance Methods 🎀

execute

$check->execute;

this is the moment. this is the main character moment. 👑

it executes the check command, and then — plot twist — it takes the current state of the target database and compares it to the plan, so you can see where things actually stand. a little reality check, a little vibe check, all in one. 🔥

👀 See Also 👀

• sqitch-check — the documentation for the check command over in the Sqitch command-line client. that's the one you actually wanted, bestie, go go go 🏃♀️
• sqitch — the Sqitch command-line client itself. the whole entire moment. 💫
