Debugging

Sometimes you need to get under-the-hood to diagnose why a linter is failing on a particular file or to more easily reproduce an issue you are seeing with a tool.
Analyzing Linter Failures
When a linter fails, trunk will generate a linter failure report that contains all the information needed to understand what went wrong and why. prettier, for example, will fail on improperly formatted HTML; let's see what that looks like:
trunk/hello_world.html:0:0
 0:0  failure  prettier error (details: .trunk/out/lYa9w.yaml)  prettier
This tells us that prettier failed when trunk ran it on trunk/hello_world.html and that we can find a full report of the invocation in .trunk/out/lYa9w.yaml. This report will include:
1.the command that was run,
2.the environment (e.g. cwd, environment variables),
3.the invocation's stdout, stderr, and exit code, and
4.repro instructions.
All of this combined is generally sufficient to fix either the file or tool to get useful results out of the linter.

Actions
When trunk check is run, a dynamic set of check actions are generated and executed in parallel. An engineer developing custom integrations may find it helpful to examine in detail exactly what trunk check does and sees when it runs a given tool. The output of the check run will include an ACTIONS section with a execution report for each action that was run as well as cache hit information.
For example, to run a report on all actions taken on hello.py:
trunk check --verbose hello.py
