Compile & Diagnose

Since: 0.0.0

Compiles a project or unit and folds the compiler's errors and warnings into drag-lint findings.

Read this when you want compiler errors and warnings for the current file or project inside the IDE. It compiles the project or unit and folds the compiler messages into drag-lint findings.

Where to click

RAD Studio main menu: drag-lint > Compile & Diagnose

Details

Compiles a project or unit and folds the compiler's errors and warnings into drag-lint findings. Reach for it to get compiler diagnostics for the current file or project without leaving the IDE.

Running it from the CLI

The feature map lists this action's CliVerb as "(none - in-process)", but this IDE action actually runs the compile-check verb:

drag-lint compile-check <target.dproj|.pas> [--db PATH] [--format json|text]

<target.dproj|.pas> is the project or unit to compile; --db is an index database; --format selects json or text output.

Reaching it in the IDE

drag-lint > Compile & Diagnose

What it needs

The feature map marks this row's Index column "n/a". It needs an active project or the current file to compile, and an open editor to show the resulting diagnostics.

Example

Illustrative only:

drag-lint compile-check C:\Projects\MyApp\MyApp.dproj --format json

This would compile MyApp.dproj and print the resulting diagnostics as JSON.
