# Validate sources

Checking the quality of your code to find and fix errors is a common task. The CDT offers the _validateSources task, which allows you to check the quality of the code of the artifacts of a webpackage. This task will check the following type of files within the active webpackage:

• Javascript files using eslint and the .eslintrc config file located at the root folder of the active webpackage.
• CSS files using csslint and the .csslintrc config file located at the root folder of the CDT (normally it is called devtools).
• JSON files using jsonlint.

# Purpose

To show how to validate the sources of the artifacts of the active webpackage using the _validateSources task.

# Steps

You should run the task within the CDT folder (normally it is called devtools) as follows:

grunt _validateSources

# Outcome

If errors are identified, they will be listed in the bash. Otherwise, a success message will be displayed.
