Description Bruno Andrade 2021-05-03 22:10:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

Given an invalid declarative config, the validate command does not show any messages for failure status

validDeclCfg
├── cockroachdb.json
└── etcd.json

opm alpha validate validPackages  


0 directories, 2 files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
opm version                     
Version: version.Version{OpmVersion:"v1.17.0-26-g7102c558", GitCommit:"7102c558", BuildDate:"2021-05-03T19:49:28Z", GoOs:"linux", GoArch:"amd64"}

Always
Comment 1 Ankita Thomas 2021-05-04 14:25:51 UTC 
./bin/opm alpha validate ./pkg/registry/testdata/validDeclCfg/
ERRO[0000] 1 error occurred:
	* invalid package "etcd": 1 error occurred:
	* default channel must be set

Looks like that was run with validPackages instead of validDeclCfg. Can you see if switching the directories helps?
Comment 2 Ankita Thomas 2021-05-04 16:08:56 UTC 
We discussed this among the team, looks like the validate command isn't at a state where it's ready for testing yet. We don't want to open bugs for the alpha sub-commands just yet, those are still being iterated on.

Closing this out.
