B.14.2 Examples

Here are some examples of taplint:

stilts taplint http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/__system__/tap/run/tap

Performs a default validation run against the TAP service based at the given URL.

stilts taplint tapurl=http://example.com/tap
               report=EW stages='TMS UWS' truncate=80 maxrepeat=4

A validation run is done against the named TAP service. Only Error and Warning type messages are output, only two validation stages are performed, lines are truncated to a maximum of 80 characters, and each message is repeated a maximum of 4 times. An invocation like this may be suitable if you find the default operation too verbose.

The output of this invocation might look like this:

Section TMS: Check content of tables metadata from TAP_SCHEMA
E-TMS-CINT-1 Column principal in TAP_SCHEMA.columns has wrong type char not int
E-TMS-CINT-2 Column std in TAP_SCHEMA.columns has wrong type char not int
