From a checkout of the repository, save the reviewed commerce plan as a Form, then validate that the saved Form is structurally valid. Validation does not reanalyze the plan or evaluate Policies.

rootform run examples/playground/commerce-platform/head/plan.json \
  --plan-file examples/playground/commerce-platform/head/plan.tfplan \
  --no-serve -o analysis.json
rootform validate form analysis.json --color always
rootform validate form analysis.json --format json

Shell

Validation result OUTPUT

Form valid

Text is the default result; JSON is also available. The result goes to standard output and diagnostics to standard error. Status 0 means the Form is valid; 1 means it is not valid; 2 means incorrect usage; 3 means the input was refused; 4 means the input could not be read or the report could not be written. Use check to evaluate Policies and Forms for what a Form contains.
