Syntax Validation

The Poshi Standalone grade projects includes a validation task that can be used to check your code for syntax errors before running your test. To use this, simply run ./gradlew validatePoshi on your root directory. If there are no errors, the command runs successfully indicated by the message:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 1s
1 actionable task: 1 executed

Errors in validation are descriptive and will point to the line of code where the error is. In the example below, there are two poshi errors:

1. The function ThisIsNotAFunction on line 12 of the LiferayLearnSearch.macro is not valid.

2. The macro command LiferayLearnSearch#search on line 12 of the LiferayLearn.testcase is not valid.
