dac check

Validate dashboards and execute all widget queries. This is a deeper check than validate because it verifies that SQL-backed and semantic widgets actually run against your database.

dac check [flags]

Flags

Flag	Alias	Type	Default	Description
--dir	-d	string	.	Dashboard definitions directory

Examples

# Check all dashboards
dac check

# Check dashboards in a specific directory
dac check --dir ./dashboards

Output

For each widget, the output shows:

Sales Analytics
  ✓ Total Revenue          1 row, 1 col    (45ms)
  ✓ Total Orders           1 row, 1 col    (32ms)
  ✓ Revenue Trend          12 rows, 2 cols (128ms)
  ✗ Broken Widget          ERROR: relation "missing_table" does not exist

• Row and column counts for successful queries
• Execution time for each query
• Error messages for failed queries

For semantic widgets, dac check resolves the referenced model from semantic/, compiles the widget definition to SQL, and executes that generated SQL.

Use Cases

• CI/CD validation: Run dac check in your pipeline to catch broken queries before deploying
• Post-migration testing: After a database migration, verify all dashboards still work
• Development: Quick feedback on whether your SQL is correct
