relay-compiler --validate option no longer available

[jcolakk]

Hi 👋 we used to run relay-compiler --validate in our CI, but its no longer available in v13. What should we use instead?

It was really useful for us as it would catch when we forget to run relay-compiler

Oh, I think we don't use this internally. We just look for unexpected changes in the source control.

Something like this:

git diff-index --quiet HEAD -- || echo >&2 "Unexpected Changes";

But, I think it make sense to add this --validate flag to the compiler.

[jcolakk]

That could work as well, I'll try to add something like that until --validate lands again.
Btw thanks for the fast responses on the issues 👍

[jcolakk]

Btw is there any estimate when this could land?

[alunyov]

I don't think we have an estimate, we mostly focus on "bad" issues: incorrect output, invalid configs, something that completely prevents people from using the new version. The --validate is almost a "new" feature for the V13, but I agree that this is a regression compared to the JS version.

Also, as a wise man said: "Be the change you want to see in the world.".

Of course, completely agree. I was just wondering if there is some kind of roadmap where this would be included. Understandably, its not a high prio.

I need some courage to dive into rust but I might try 👍
