popy_check¶

When developing a PoPy script file it is sometimes useful to sanity check the input and automatically detect common errors.

Note this checking process also happens when using popy_run, however the popy_check enables you to check before you are ready to run a script.

Check a script by opening a Open a PoPy Command Prompt and typing:-

$ popy_check my_script.pyml

this will output the results of the check to the terminal and also to a log file called:-

my_script.pyml.check.log

Hopefully the various error and warning messages will enable you to more easily edit and fix a broken script file.
