# uip rpa get-errors

> `uip rpa get-errors` returns the validation diagnostics — errors, warnings, informational messages — for a single file or the entire open project. By default, the verb forces Studio to re-run validation before collecting results so the output is fresh; pass `--skip-validation` if you want what is currently displayed in the designer (which may be stale).

`uip rpa get-errors` returns the validation diagnostics — errors, warnings, informational messages — for a single file or the entire open project. By default, the verb forces Studio to re-run validation before collecting results so the output is fresh; pass `--skip-validation` if you want what is currently displayed in the designer (which may be stale).

The verb runs through Studio's validation pipeline and therefore requires a Windows runner. Scoping to a single file with `--file-path` is significantly faster than re-validating a large project.

## Synopsis

```
uip rpa get-errors [--file-path <string>] [--skip-validation] [--min-severity { error | warning | info | verbose }]
```

## Options

| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| `--file-path <string>` | Project-relative path of the file to inspect. If omitted, diagnostics for the whole project are returned. |
| `--skip-validation` | Return cached diagnostics from the last validation pass instead of re-validating. May be stale. Default: `false`. |
| `--min-severity <string>` | Lowest severity to include — `error`, `warning`, `info`, or `verbose`. `error` returns only errors; `warning` adds warnings; `info` adds informational messages; `verbose` returns everything. Default: `warning`. |

For the complete option list on your installed tool version, run:

```bash
uip rpa get-errors --help
```

## Examples

```bash
# Errors and warnings for one file (fastest)
uip rpa get-errors --file-path Main.xaml

# Hard errors only across the entire project — quick CI gate
uip rpa get-errors --min-severity error

# Use the diagnostics already shown in the designer, no re-validation
uip rpa get-errors --skip-validation
```
