Exit codes

v8r always exits with code 0 when:

  • The input glob pattern(s) matched one or more files, all input files were validated against a schema, and all input files were valid
  • v8r was called with --help or --version flags

By default v8r exits with code 1 when an error was encountered trying to validate one or more input files. For example:

  • No suitable schema could be found
  • An error was encountered during an HTTP request
  • An input file was not JSON or yaml
  • etc

This behaviour can be modified using the --ignore-errors flag. When invoked with --ignore-errors v8r will exit with code 0 even if one of these errors was encountered while attempting validation. A non-zero exit code will only be issued if validation could be completed successfully and the file was invalid.

v8r always exits with code 97 when:

  • There was an error loading a config file
  • A config file was loaded but failed validation
  • There was an error loading a plugin
  • A plugin file was loaded but failed validation

v8r always exits with code 98 when:

  • An input glob pattern was invalid
  • An input glob pattern was valid but did not match any files
  • All files matching input glob patterns were ignored

v8r always exits with code 99 when:

  • The input glob pattern matched one or more files, one or more input files were validated against a schema and the input file was invalid
