If a schema has an invalid structure, the resulting errors are a bit confusing. E.g. if the "tables" definition is missing, the resulting error looks like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/henning/.local/share/virtualenvs/postgresql-anonymizer-AUSqld0C/bin/pganonymize", line 11, in <module>
load_entry_point('pganonymize', 'console_scripts', 'pganonymize')()
File "/home/henning/Projekte/postgresql-anonymizer/pganonymizer/cli.py", line 32, in main
truncate_tables(connection, schema.get('truncate', []))
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'
It would ne nice to have a validation method that checks for the basic structure of the YAML file:
The tables keyword
fields at the table level
A provider at the field level, with at least a name
...
Instead of writing own methods for the validation it could be possible to use general Python based YAML validation libraries, e.g.:
