The WalkDryRun command

Test your walk configuration without running a full analysis

debt-collector walkdryrun

The walkdryrun command lets you test your walkConfig without actually walking through revisions and analyzing files. It runs the configured gitCommand, applies your parser, and displays the parsed results so you can verify that your walk configuration is correct before committing to a full walk.

This command requires a walkConfig in your configuration file, just like the walk command. See the configuration overview for more information.

What it does

1. Loads and validates your configuration

2. Executes the gitCommand from your walkConfig

3. Runs the parser function on the raw output

4. Displays a truncated version of the raw command output

5. Displays the parsed revision list (limited by walkConfig.limit, defaulting to 10)

This is useful for debugging your gitCommand and parser before running a potentially long walk analysis.

Optional flags :

--include / -g	string: a glob pattern	override the include configuration
