enable

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

The enable subcommand enables a specific check provided in the --check-name parameters.

Uses

You can typically use the enable command to start or continue executing the disabled check. The liquibase checks run command evaluates enabled checks when being executed.

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

Syntax

Run the command specifying your values:

liquibase checks enable --check-name=ChangesetCommentCheck

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.

The command enables the check in the checks settings file. To run the check, use the run command.

Command arguments

The following table identifies parameters that are accepted or required by the enable subcommand. If the Default column states "Required," it is required to run the command successfully. If it states "Null," it is an optional command argument. Each command argument helps you narrow down the liquibase checks enable command to ensure that only very specific content is affected by the command.

Tip: For best results, specify all commands and parameters in the --kebab-case format in the CLI. If your preference is camelCase, it also works in the CLI.
