run

Note: This is a Liquibase Pro feature, so you need a Liquibase Pro License Key to use it.

The run subcommand executes checks using the checks settings file against a changelog, database, or both. Policy checks support XML, SQL, YAML, and JSON changelog formats, and all the Liquibase Pro-certified databases.

Uses

The checks run executes enabled checks based on the --checks-scope property. To specify the scope, set checks-scope to changelog, database, or changelog,database to run both scopes.

The checks run command by default executes the enabled changelog checks against the specified changelog using the checks settings files, which can have default and/or non-default locations. When you run a database-scoped check, Liquibase takes a snapshot of your database to run the checks against.

If your files are not stored in the Liquibase working directory, specify the relative path to them. Check How Liquibase Finds Files: Liquibase Search Path for more details.

In Liquibase Pro 4.26.0 and later, you can use checks run to seamlessly generate a Checks Report for your database.

Note: To view a list of available checks, run liquibase checks show.

In Liquibase 4.29.0 and later, you can use checks run to run Liquibase Pro Custom Policy Checks.

Syntax

Run the command specifying your values:

liquibase checks run --changelog-file=basicRule.postgres.sql

Note: If you have a checks settings file customized for a specific environment or project, you need to pass that using the --checks-settings-file parameter. If you do not include this parameter, Liquibase uses the default settings file: liquibase.checks-settings.conf. See Use the Checks Settings Configuration File.

To execute checks that require a database connection, you must also include connection attributes such as the database url.

If using a checks packages file, optionally specify which packages should be run from the file as a comma-separated list.

 Optional
