camel validate yaml

Parse and validate YAML routes against the Camel YAML DSL schema.

By default, routes are validated against the classic schema which accepts both shorthand and explicit forms. Use the --canonical flag to validate against the canonical schema, which rejects shorthands and implicit expressions.

See the YAML DSL Schema Variants documentation for details on the differences between the classic and canonical schemas.

Examples

Validate YAML routes against the classic schema:

camel validate yaml myroute.yaml

Validate against the canonical schema (rejects shorthands):

camel validate yaml --canonical myroute.yaml

Validate multiple files:

camel validate yaml routes/*.yaml

Sample output

Given a YAML route using the shorthand log: "${body}", validating with --canonical will report errors because the canonical schema requires the explicit object form:

$ camel validate yaml --canonical myroute.yaml
myroute.yaml: INVALID
  - $.from.steps[0].log: string found, object expected

The same file validates successfully against the classic schema (the default):

$ camel validate yaml myroute.yaml
myroute.yaml: VALID

Use camel validate normalize to convert the file to canonical form before re-validating.
