divekit doctor
Diagnose your Divekit environment and detect common configuration issues.
divekit doctor
runs a series of focused checks to validate your local setup. It helps identify misconfigurations early and prints PASS/FAIL results for each check.
Usage
divekit doctor
What it currently checks
The current implementation performs these checks:
- Divekit Home Directory
- Ensures your Divekit home directory exists and is initialized.
- Configuration Availability
- Verifies that a valid Divekit home can be determined for configuration access.
- GitLab Connection (basic)
- Attempts to read a token from the OS credential store and a default host from
~/.divekit/hosts.json
, then performs a basic API connectivity check. - Notes:
- Tokens are retrieved from your OS credential manager (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux).
hosts.json
stores host metadata and a token-key reference, not the token itself.
- Attempts to read a token from the OS credential store and a default host from
- Unresolved Token Detection (sanity)
- Runs a lightweight sanity-check for unresolved template tokens in example content using your effective token delimiters.
Output format
The command prints a compact PASS/FAIL report:
--- Doctor Results ---
PASS Divekit Home Directory
PASS Configuration File
PASS GitLab Connection & Token (Basic Check)
PASS Unresolved Token Detection
--------------------
If a check fails, a FAIL line is printed with an error explanation.
Preparing your environment for doctor
To enable the GitLab connection check:
- Configure a GitLab host and token
# Simplified (prompts for token and stores it in OS keychain)
divekit config set @hosts git-nrw https://gitlab.git.nrw/
# Or non-interactive with token flag
divekit config set @hosts git-nrw https://gitlab.git.nrw/ --token glpat-xxx...
- Verify the host entry
divekit config get @hosts.git-nrw
Troubleshooting
- Token not found:
- Add a host as shown above or open your OS credential manager and verify an entry exists for “divekit-cli”.
- Base URL unknown:
- Ensure
~/.divekit/hosts.json
contains a default host or the host you intend to use.
- Ensure
- Keychain inspection:
- macOS: Keychain Access → search “divekit-cli”
- Windows: Credential Manager → Windows Credentials → search “divekit-cli”
- Linux:
secret-tool search service divekit-cli
Notes and roadmap
- The doctor command focuses on essential checks. Additional in-depth validations (e.g., distribution remotes, module presence) may be added in future iterations.
- No subcommands are currently available; the legacy “doctor list/check …” interface mentioned in older drafts is not implemented.
