Question

Hi Is there a way to get more detailed error message I am getting `failed to load test suite failed to unmarshal JSON proto syntax error line 1 183 unexpected token ` and I am sure I made some mistake in yaml file I have validated it and it is valid yaml and I am sure it is not going to be last time so I am looking for a way to get a sense of what is wrong I am running `docker run it v pwd policies policies v pwd tests tests <http ghcr io cerbos cerbos latest|ghcr io cerbos cerbos latest> compile policies tests tests verbose` Thanks

I found what was the concrete problem I didn t make `expected` a list but original question still stands Additionally is there a schema for test files I have configured one for policies but I am not aware of one for test files

Hi Yes this is an area we want to improve and provide better error messages It s still in the works though You can find the schema for the test suites at and you should be able to use it with schema aware editors like VSCode to validate your files We have some documentation on that here

From error message it seems to me that yaml is compiled to JSON Is that true Is there a way to see JSON that is generated from YAML somehow

Charith (Cerbos) · Answer

Well actually the YAML gets converted to protobufs via JSON We don t currently have a way to output the intermediate representation You can use a tool like `yq` to convert YAML to JSON and vice versa if that s useful
