Idea(low priority feature request): command like `bleep validate` or better reports for syntax errors in bleep.yaml

[i10416]

It would be nice if bleep can report all syntax errors ofbleep.yaml at once (whether by a dedicated command or general error output)

For example, the following example would show

• "Must specify scala native version"
• "missing platform field nativeMode"
• "missing platform field nativeGc"

at once.

...
      platform:
          name: native
          # nativeGc: immix
          # nativeMode: debug
          # nativeVersion: 0.4.12

Is it possible? ,and if possible, is this feature worth implementing?

Absolutely, this is a great idea I really want to investigate. The tooling situation for a build file like this has the potential of being really really great, but it isn't so far.

There are different trains of thought here, for instance:

• bleep could provide an LSP server which sends actionable diagnostics to the IDE
• in the case of missing values I think bleep should be able to write back a file with default values for the missing elements
