On this page

A jadpo check command names a path that isn't there or isn't a .jadpo file, or a --before git doesn't know.

Area 14, Tools; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Why Jadpo refuses it

jadpo check checks a project, a folder or one .jadpo file. A path that isn't there, or a file of another kind, would leave nothing checked, and saying it passed would be wrong.

What it looks like

The path is misspelt:

shell
jadpo check app.jadp
jadpo check

error app.jadp doesn't exist

reason
There is no file or folder at this path.
next
Give the path of a project, a .jadpo file or a folder (agent)
rule
cli.check_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.check_arguments

(agent) at the end of the next: line means your coding agent can make the fix itself.

A file that isn't a .jadpo file is refused too:

shell
touch notes.txtjadpo check notes.txt
jadpo check

error notes.txt isn't a Jadpo file

reason
jadpo check reads files whose names end in .jadpo.
next
Give a .jadpo file, or a folder to check every one in it (agent)
rule
cli.check_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.check_arguments

How to fix it

If you meant the whole project, leave the path out:

shell
jadpo check

It finds the project by walking up to app.jadpo and checks every file in it.

If you meant one file, give its path as it is:

shell
jadpo check app.jadpo

Only that file's errors are printed.
