# Command: verify
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `terraform validate` command is used to validate the syntax of the terraform files.
|
||
|
|
Terraform performs a syntax check on all the terraform files in the directory, and will display an error if the file(s)
|
||
|
|
doesn't validate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These errors include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Interpolation in variable values, depends_on, module source etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Duplicate names in resource, modules and providers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Missing variable values.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage: `terraform validate [dir]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, `validate` requires no flags and looks in the current directory
|
||
|
|
for the configurations.
