Linting

Wombat will print errors and halt execution if you try to run a config that has linting errors. If, however, you want to test your configs before deployment you can do so with the lint subcommand:

For example, imagine we have a config foo.yaml, where we intend to read from AMQP, but there is a typo in our config struct:

input:
amqp_0_9:
yourl: amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmqserver:5672/

We can catch this error before attempting to run the config:

Terminal window
$ wombat lint ./foo.yaml
./foo.yaml: line 3: field yourl not recognised

For more information read the output from wombat lint --help.
