Run AST Checks

Run AST Checks

Runs drag-lint's AST-level checks against a file. Reach for it to validate a file's parse tree and catch AST-detectable issues directly.

Running it from the CLI

drag-lint check-ast <file> [--db PATH] [--format text|json]

<file> is the file to check; --db is an index database; --format selects text or json output.

Reaching it in the IDE

drag-lint > Run AST Checks

What it needs

The --db flag is optional -- drag-lint auto-resolves the index when omitted. An index must still exist.

Example

Illustrative only:

drag-lint check-ast C:\Projects\MyApp\Unit1.pas --format json

This would run AST checks on Unit1.pas and print the results as JSON.
