--check-name

Last updated: July 8, 2026

The name of the check(s) to target. Comma-separated list of enabled checks. Prefix with ! to exclude; in bash or zsh, single-quote any token containing ! to prevent shell history expansion. If not specified, all enabled checks are targeted.

Syntax

You can set this parameter in the following ways:

Option	Syntax
Command CLI parameter	`--check-name=<string>`
Liquibase properties file (defaults file)	`liquibase.command.checks.<subcommand>.checkName: <string>`
Command flow file argument (example)	`cmdArgs: { check-name: "<string>" }`
JVM system property (JAVA_OPTS environment variable)	`JAVA_OPTS=-Dliquibase.command.checks.<subcommand>.checkName=<string>`
Liquibase environment variable	`LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_CHECKS_<SUBCOMMAND>_CHECK_NAME=<string>`

Excluding checks

Prefix check names with ! to exclude them. In bash or zsh, single-quote any token containing ! to prevent shell history expansion; double quotes do not work.

Single-exclude: --check-name='!skipMe1'

Multiple-exclude: --check-name='!skipMe1','!skipMe2'
