Running Mason from the Command Line

Supplying the file to be processed

Mason does not provide any prompts. The file to be processed must be given in the command line.

   -mason test.msn

Command line options

Mason can accept the following command line arguments, each followed by a file name:

   -c:    output the run time information to the following console file
   -pf:   use the following file to set the paths 
         (the file simply contains the desired paths, one per line
   -v:    verbose mode, output useful data
   -t:    change the XML file used for validation

When using command line arguments (but not when using the pathfile option) remember that if the path contains a space, quotes are needed to encapsulate the path.

-mason  –pf paths.txt --c mason.out test.msn

If no argument is provided, Mason runs several validation cases.

To spoof how Mason runs from the TinyCAD, use:
mason -n validation/test.dsn.net -d validation/test.dsn.msn validation/test.dsn.msn.xml
