Ability to validate cloudronversions.json via Cloudron CLI

[ekevu123]

I would like to be able to validate the CloudronVersions.json via Cloudron CLI, ideally with a simple boolean response, it's either valid or it isn't, and if the latter, why. This would allow an app developer to validate the file without having to go into their own Cloudron and test it manually. This way, it could also be part of automated validation processes like a test suite.

Good idea. We already do this in our appstore pipeline using cloudron appstore verify-manifest . I have added cloudrons versions verify for the next release to match this.

cloudron appstore verify-manifest requires a docker image, doesn't it? It would be ideal to have a verifier for both cases that don't need that. My logic would be that I want to fix any issues before building the image? I just want to see if it technically works?

Can you explain what issues you want to fix before building an image? Are you referring to the CloudronVersions.json or CloudronManifest.json ?

Both. I want to understand if both are correct programmatically, but I can't test them against having an existing docker image, because I find that counter-intuitive - why would I build the docker image before knowing if everything is correct?
