Summary

  • update the shared no-project diagnostic to recommend --project <DIR>
  • remove the previously proposed baml check and baml test --file flags
  • cover both the diagnostic and a successful baml test --project sources invocation using an explicit source directory

Root cause

The project discovery error still recommended --file, but baml test does not support that option. The supported escape hatch is the global --project option with a project or explicit source directory.

Validation

  • cargo fmt -p baml_cli -- --check
  • cargo test -p baml_cli (full crate suite passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test exit_code_e2e (49 passed)
  • cargo clippy -p baml_cli --all-targets -- -D warnings

Fixes B-438.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now recommends --project <PATH> when no project is found. End-to-end tests cover this diagnostic and successful execution of a standalone .baml file with baml test --project.

Changes

Project selection behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Missing-project guidance
baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/project_load.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/tests/exit_code_e2e.rs
The missing-project diagnostic recommends --project <PATH> and omits --file <PATH>.
Standalone file execution coverage
baml_language/crates/baml_cli/tests/exit_code_e2e.rs
An end-to-end test verifies that baml test --project runs a standalone BAML file and reports one passing test.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to a02e5

The PR adds standalone file support to baml test and baml check with validation and documentation updates; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit found a project path,
And trimmed the old advice.
A BAML test hopped cleanly through,
One pass was its reward.
“Use --project,” the rabbit said,
Then nibbled on a carrot.
