--test

opengrep scan

opengrep test, --validate

Runs the rule tests instead of scanning, as opengrep test does: each rule file is tested against the files named after it, and the # ruleid: and # ok: annotations are checked. The flag is accepted for compatibility.

## Examples

### Running the tests of a directory

rules:  - id: find-eval    pattern: eval(...)    message: found eval    languages: [python]    severity: WARNING

# ruleid: find-evaleval(1)# ok: find-evalevaluate(2)

$ opengrep scan -q --test .
