EOAP Validator for VS Code

Validate saved CWL EO Application Packages from VS Code. Right-click a .cwl file in Explorer or the editor and choose EOAP validation. If the document contains multiple root workflows, select the workflow ID from the picker. The validator checks the package without executing its workflows.

Findings appear as source underlines and entries in Problems. Hover an underline to read the rule message and any suggested fix. The full JSON report, including findings without usable source positions, is available in Output → EOAP Validator.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.95 or newer with a trusted workspace.
• For the managed validator, Python 3.10+ with venv and pip on the workspace host, plus access to your configured pip index for first-use dependencies.
• A saved local or remote-workspace .cwl file.

The extension bundles eoap-validator 0.2.0 and installs it in private extension storage on first use. You can also configure an existing validator executable. Remote SSH, WSL and Dev Containers use Python and paths on the workspace host. Browser-only and virtual workspaces are unsupported.
