Examples

Validate the spicepod in the current directory:

> spice validate

OK my_app (datasets: 2, models: 1, views: 0, tools: 0, workers: 0)

Validate a specific directory:

> spice validate ./my-app

OK my_app (datasets: 3, models: 0, views: 1, tools: 2, workers: 0)

Validate a specific file:

> spice validate path/to/spicepod.yaml

OK taxi_trips (datasets: 1, models: 0, views: 0, tools: 0, workers: 0)

When validation fails, the error describes the issue:
