Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

cli

✓ import { cli } from 'sml-cli'

ESM-only; requires Node >=18

SMLConfig

✓ import type { SMLConfig } from 'sml-cli'

✗ import { SMLConfig } from 'sml-cli'

TypeScript type, not a runtime value

runCLI

✓ import { runCLI } from 'sml-cli'

✗ const { runCLI } = require('sml-cli')

ESM-only since v2026.0.0; CommonJS not supported

Programmatic usage of SML CLI to validate a semantic model file.

import { runCLI } from 'sml-cli'; async function main() { await runCLI(['--version']); // Or use programmatically: const result = await runCLI(['validate', 'model.yaml']); console.log(result.exitCode); } main().catch(console.error);

Known issues

breakingESM-only: CJS require() throws Module not found error. Package is ESM-only since v2026.0.0. Use import syntax.

fix

Switch to ESM or downgrade to v2025.x (if available).

affects: >=2026.0.0

breakingNode.js >=18 required. Older Node versions cause runtime errors.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to 18 or later.

affects: >=2026.0.0

gotchaCLI arguments must be passed as array of strings. runCLI() with a single string fails silently.

fix

Always use array: runCLI(['validate', 'file.sml'])

affects: *

deprecatedv2025.x functions like validateModel() are removed in v2026; use runCLI() instead.

fix

Migrate to runCLI() API.

affects: >=2026.0.0

gotchaTypeScript types are experimental and may not cover all runtime errors. Verify with actual CLI.

fix

Cross-check with CLI help output.

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /path/to/node_modules/sml-cli/index.js not supported.

Package is ESM-only and cannot be required with CommonJS require().

fix

Use import syntax or set type: module in package.json, or downgrade to v2025.x.

TypeError: runCLI is not a function

Incorrect import: default import used instead of named import, or wrong path.

fix

Use import { runCLI } from 'sml-cli'

Error: Unknown argument: --validate

Passing a single string instead of array of args to runCLI.

fix

Wrap arguments in array: runCLI(['--validate', 'model.sml'])

MODULE_NOT_FOUND: Cannot find module 'sml-cli'

Package not installed or Node.js version <18.

fix

Install package: npm install sml-cli, and ensure Node >=18.
