Validate a hub config file against a hubverse schema

Source: R/validate_config.R
validate_config.Rd

This function validates a single hub config file against it's corresponding schema. Note that, for tasks.json config files, validation is performed in two stages:

  1. Initial validation against the schema is performed using the jsonvalidate package which uses the "ajv" (Another JSON Schema Validator) validation engine.

  2. If the initial validation is successful, additional dynamic validations are performed. This means that only after the initial validation passes, will any dynamic validation errors be detected.

Usage

validate_config(
  hub_path = ".",
  config = c("tasks", "admin"),
  config_path = NULL,
  schema_version = "from_config",
  branch = "main"
)

Arguments

hub_path

Path to a local hub directory.

config

Name of config file to validate. One of "tasks" or "admin".

config_path

Defaults to NULL which assumes all config files are in the hub-config directory in the root of hub directory. Argument config_path can be used to override default by providing a path to the config file to be validated.

schema_version

Character string specifying the json schema version to be used for validation. The default value "from_config" will use the version specified in the schema_version property of the config file. "latest" will use the latest version available in the hubverse schemas repository. Alternatively, a specific version of a schema (e.g. "v0.0.1") can be specified.

branch

The branch of the hubverse schemas repository from which to fetch schema. Defaults to "main".

Value

Returns the result of validation. If validation is successful, will return TRUE. If any validation errors are detected, returns FALSE with details of errors appended as a data.frame to an errors attribute. To access the errors table use attr(x, "errors") where x is the output of the function.

You can print a more concise and easier to view version of an errors table with view_config_val_errors().
