The OPA executable provides the following commands.
opa bench
Benchmark a Rego query
Synopsis
Benchmark a Rego query and print the results.
The benchmark command works very similar to ’eval’ and will evaluate the query in the same fashion. The evaluation will be repeated a number of times and performance results will be returned.
Example with bundle and input data:
opa bench -b ./policy-bundle -i input.json 'data.authz.allow'
To enable more detailed analysis use the –metrics and –benchmem flags.
To run benchmarks against a running OPA server to evaluate server overhead use the –e2e flag.
The optional “gobench” output format conforms to the Go Benchmark Data Format.
opa bench <query> [flags]
Options
--benchmem report memory allocations with benchmark results (default true)
-b, --bundle string set bundle file(s) or directory path(s). This flag can be repeated.
-c, --config-file string set path of configuration file
--count int number of times to repeat each benchmark (default 1)
-d, --data string set policy or data file(s). This flag can be repeated.
--e2e run benchmarks against a running OPA server
--fail exits with non-zero exit code on undefined/empty result and errors (default true)
-f, --format {json,pretty,gobench} set output format (default pretty)
-h, --help help for bench
--ignore strings set file and directory names to ignore during loading (e.g., '.*' excludes hidden files)
--import string set query import(s). This flag can be repeated.
-i, --input string set input file path
--metrics report query performance metrics (default true)
--package string set query package
-p, --partial perform partial evaluation
-s, --schema string set schema file path or directory path
--shutdown-grace-period int set the time (in seconds) that the server will wait to gracefully shut down. This flag is valid in 'e2e' mode only. (default 10)
--shutdown-wait-period int set the time (in seconds) that the server will wait before initiating shutdown. This flag is valid in 'e2e' mode only.
--stdin read query from stdin
-I, --stdin-input read input document from stdin
-t, --target {rego,wasm} set the runtime to exercise (default rego)
-u, --unknowns stringArray set paths to treat as unknown during partial evaluation (default [input])
opa build
Build an OPA bundle
Synopsis
Build an OPA bundle.
The ‘build’ command packages OPA policy and data files into bundles. Bundles are gzipped tarballs containing policies and data. Paths referring to directories are loaded recursively.
$ ls
example.rego
$ opa build -b .
You can load bundles into OPA on the command-line:
$ ls
bundle.tar.gz example.rego
$ opa run bundle.tar.gz
You can also configure OPA to download bundles from remote HTTP endpoints:
$ opa run --server \
--set bundles.example.resource=bundle.tar.gz \
--set services.example.url=http://localhost:8080
Inside another terminal in the same directory, serve the bundle via HTTP:
$ python3 -m http.server --bind localhost 8080
For more information on bundles see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/.
Common Flags
When -b is specified the ‘build’ command assumes paths refer to existing bundle files or directories following the bundle structure. If multiple bundles are provided, their contents are merged. If there are any merge conflicts (e.g., due to conflicting bundle roots), the command fails. When loading an existing bundle file, the .manifest from the input bundle will be included in the output bundle. Flags that set .manifest fields (such as –revision) override input bundle .manifest fields.
The -O flag controls the optimization level. By default, optimization is disabled (-O=0). When optimization is enabled the ‘build’ command generates a bundle that is semantically equivalent to the input files however the structure of the files in the bundle may have been changed by rewriting, inlining, pruning, etc. Higher optimization levels may result in longer build times.
The ‘build’ command supports targets (specified by -t):
rego The default target emits a bundle containing a set of policy and data files
that are semantically equivalent to the input files. If optimizations are
disabled the output may simply contain a copy of the input policy and data
files. If optimization is enabled at least one entrypoint must be supplied,
either via the -e option, or via entrypoint metadata annotations.
wasm The wasm target emits a bundle containing a WebAssembly module compiled from
the input files for each specified entrypoint. The bundle may contain the
original policy or data files.
plan The plan target emits a bundle containing a plan, i.e., an intermediate
representation compiled from the input files for each specified entrypoint.
This is for further processing, OPA cannot evaluate a "plan bundle" like it
can evaluate a wasm or rego bundle.
The -e flag tells the ‘build’ command which documents will be queried by the software asking for policy decisions, so that it can focus optimization efforts and ensure that document is not eliminated by the optimizer.
Signing
The ‘build’ command can be used to verify the signature of a signed bundle and also to generate a signature for the output bundle the command creates.
If the directory path(s) provided to the ‘build’ command contain a “.signatures.json” file, it will attempt to verify the signatures included in that file. The bundle files or directory path(s) to verify must be specified using –bundle.
For more information on the bundle signing and verification, see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signing.
Example:
$ opa build --verification-key /path/to/public_key.pem --signing-key /path/to/private_key.pem --bundle foo
Where foo has the following structure:
foo/
|
+-- bar/
| |
| +-- data.json
|
+-- policy.rego
|
+-- .manifest
|
+-- .signatures.json
The ‘build’ command will verify the signatures using the public key provided by the –verification-key flag. The default signing algorithm is RS256 and the –signing-alg flag can be used to specify a different one. The –verification-key-id and –scope flags can be used to specify the name for the key provided using the –verification-key flag and scope to use for bundle signature verification respectively.
If the verification succeeds, the ‘build’ command will write out an updated “.signatures.json” file to the output bundle. It will use the key specified by the –signing-key flag to sign the token in the “.signatures.json” file.
To include additional claims in the payload use the –claims-file flag to provide a JSON file containing optional claims.
For more information on the format of the “.signatures.json” file see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-format.
Capabilities
The ‘build’ command can validate policies against a configurable set of OPA capabilities. The capabilities define the built-in functions and other language features that policies may depend on. For example, the following capabilities file only permits the policy to depend on the “plus” built-in function (’+’):
{
"builtins": [
{
"name": "plus",
"infix": "+",
"decl": {
"type": "function",
"args": [
{
"type": "number"
},
{
"type": "number"
}
],
"result": {
"type": "number"
}
}
}
]
}
Capabilities can be used to validate policies against a specific version of OPA. The OPA repository contains a set of capabilities files for each OPA release. For example, the following command builds a directory of policies (’./policies’) and validates them against OPA v0.22.0:
opa build ./policies --capabilities v0.22.0
opa build <path> [<path> [...]] [flags]
Options
-b, --bundle load paths as bundle files or root directories
--capabilities string set capabilities version or capabilities.json file path
--claims-file string set path of JSON file containing optional claims (see: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-format)
--debug enable debug output
-e, --entrypoint string set slash separated entrypoint path
--exclude-files-verify strings set file names to exclude during bundle verification
-h, --help help for build
--ignore strings set file and directory names to ignore during loading (e.g., '.*' excludes hidden files)
-O, --optimize int set optimization level
-o, --output string set the output filename (default "bundle.tar.gz")
--prune-unused exclude dependents of entrypoints
-r, --revision string set output bundle revision
--scope string scope to use for bundle signature verification
--signing-alg string name of the signing algorithm (default "RS256")
--signing-key string set the secret (HMAC) or path of the PEM file containing the private key (RSA and ECDSA)
--signing-plugin string name of the plugin to use for signing/verification (see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-plugin
-t, --target {rego,wasm,plan} set the output bundle target type (default rego)
--verification-key string set the secret (HMAC) or path of the PEM file containing the public key (RSA and ECDSA)
--verification-key-id string name assigned to the verification key used for bundle verification (default "default")
opa capabilities
Print the capabilities of OPA
Synopsis
Show capabilities for OPA.
The ‘capabilities’ command prints the OPA capabilities, prior to and including the version of OPA used.
Print a list of all existing capabilities version names
$ opa capabilities
v0.17.0
v0.17.1
...
v0.37.1
v0.37.2
v0.38.0
...
Print the capabilities of the current version
$ opa capabilities --current
{
"builtins": [...],
"future_keywords": [...],
"wasm_abi_versions": [...]
}
Print the capabilities of a specific version
$ opa capabilities --version v0.32.1
{
"builtins": [...],
"future_keywords": null,
"wasm_abi_versions": [...]
}
Print the capabilities of a capabilities file
$ opa capabilities --file ./capabilities/v0.32.1.json
{
"builtins": [...],
"future_keywords": null,
"wasm_abi_versions": [...]
}
opa capabilities [flags]
Options
--current print current capabilities
--file string print current capabilities
-h, --help help for capabilities
--version string print capabilities of a specific version
opa check
Check Rego source files
Synopsis
Check Rego source files for parse and compilation errors.
If the 'check' command succeeds in parsing and compiling the source file(s), no output
is produced. If the parsing or compiling fails, 'check' will output the errors
and exit with a non-zero exit code.
opa check <path> [path [...]] [flags]
Options
-b, --bundle load paths as bundle files or root directories
--capabilities string set capabilities version or capabilities.json file path
-f, --format {pretty,json} set output format (default pretty)
-h, --help help for check
--ignore strings set file and directory names to ignore during loading (e.g., '.*' excludes hidden files)
-m, --max-errors int set the number of errors to allow before compilation fails early (default 10)
-s, --schema string set schema file path or directory path
-S, --strict enable compiler strict mode
opa deps
Analyze Rego query dependencies
Synopsis
Print dependencies of provided query.
Dependencies are categorized as either base documents, which is any data loaded from the outside world, or virtual documents, i.e values that are computed from rules.
Example
Given a policy like this:
package policy
import future.keywords.if
import future.keywords.in
allow if is_admin
is_admin if "admin" in input.user.roles
To evaluate the dependencies of a simple query (e.g. data.policy.allow), we’d run opa deps like demonstrated below:
$ opa deps --data policy.rego data.policy.allow
+------------------+----------------------+
| BASE DOCUMENTS | VIRTUAL DOCUMENTS |
+------------------+----------------------+
| input.user.roles | data.policy.allow |
| | data.policy.is_admin |
+------------------+----------------------+
From the output we’re able to determine that the allow rule depends on the input.user.roles base document, as well as the virtual document (rule) data.policy.is_admin.
opa deps <query> [flags]
Options
-b, --bundle string set bundle file(s) or directory path(s). This flag can be repeated.
-d, --data string set policy or data file(s). This flag can be repeated.
-f, --format {pretty,json} set output format (default pretty)
-h, --help help for deps
--ignore strings set file and directory names to ignore during loading (e.g., '.*' excludes hidden files)
opa eval
Evaluate a Rego query
Synopsis
Evaluate a Rego query and print the result.
Examples
To evaluate a simple query:
$ opa eval 'x := 1; y := 2; x < y'
To evaluate a query against JSON data:
$ opa eval --data data.json 'name := data.names[_]'
To evaluate a query against JSON data supplied with a file:// URL:
$ opa eval --data file:///path/to/file.json 'data'
File & Bundle Loading
The –bundle flag will load data files and Rego files contained in the bundle specified by the path. It can be either a compressed tar archive bundle file or a directory tree.
$ opa eval --bundle /some/path 'data'
Where /some/path contains:
foo/
|
+-- bar/
| |
| +-- data.json
|
+-- baz.rego
|
+-- manifest.yaml
The JSON file ‘foo/bar/data.json’ would be loaded and rooted under ‘data.foo.bar’ and the ‘foo/baz.rego’ would be loaded and rooted under the package path contained inside the file. Only data files named data.json or data.yaml will be loaded. In the example above the manifest.yaml would be ignored.
See https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/ for more details on bundle directory structures.
The –data flag can be used to recursively load ALL *.rego, *.json, and *.yaml files under the specified directory.
The -O flag controls the optimization level. By default, optimization is disabled (-O=0). When optimization is enabled the ’eval’ command generates a bundle from the files provided with either the –bundle or –data flag. This bundle is semantically equivalent to the input files however the structure of the files in the bundle may have been changed by rewriting, inlining, pruning, etc. This resulting optimized bundle is used to evaluate the query. If optimization is enabled at least one entrypoint must be supplied, either via the -e option, or via entrypoint metadata annotations.
Output Formats
Set the output format with the –format flag.
--format=json : output raw query results as JSON
--format=values : output line separated JSON arrays containing expression values
--format=bindings : output line separated JSON objects containing variable bindings
--format=pretty : output query results in a human-readable format
--format=source : output partial evaluation results in a source format
--format=raw : output the values from query results in a scripting friendly format
Schema
The -s/–schema flag provides one or more JSON Schemas used to validate references to the input or data documents. Loads a single JSON file, applying it to the input document; or all the schema files under the specified directory.
$ opa eval --data policy.rego --input input.json --schema schema.json
$ opa eval --data policy.rego --input input.json --schema schemas/
Capabilities
When passing a capabilities definition file via –capabilities, one can restrict which hosts remote schema definitions can be retrieved from. For example, a capabilities.json containing
{
"builtins": [ ... ],
"allow_net": [ "kubernetesjsonschema.dev" ]
}
would disallow fetching remote schemas from any host but “kubernetesjsonschema.dev”. Setting allow_net to an empty array would prohibit fetching any remote schemas.
Not providing a capabilities file, or providing a file without an allow_net key, will permit fetching remote schemas from any host.
Note that the metaschemas http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema, http://json-schema.org/draft-06/schema, and http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema, are always available, even without network access.

opa exec
Execute against input files
Synopsis
Execute against input files.
The ’exec’ command executes OPA against one or more input files. If the paths refer to directories, OPA will execute against files contained inside those directories, recursively.
The ’exec’ command accepts a –config-file/-c or series of –set options as arguments. These options behave the same as way as ‘opa run’. Since the ’exec’ command is intended to execute OPA in one-shot, the ’exec’ command will manually trigger plugins before and after policy execution:
Before: Discovery -> Bundle -> Status After: Decision Logs
By default, the ’exec’ command executes the “default decision” (specified in the OPA configuration) against each input file. This can be overridden by specifying the –decision argument and pointing at a specific policy decision, e.g., opa exec –decision /foo/bar/baz …
opa exec <path> [<path> [...]] [flags]
Options
-b, --bundle string set bundle file(s) or directory path(s). This flag can be repeated.
-c, --config-file string set path of configuration file
--decision string set decision to evaluate
--fail exits with non-zero exit code on undefined/empty result and errors
--fail-defined exits with non-zero exit code on defined/non-empty result and errors
-f, --format {pretty,json} set output format (default pretty)

--log-format {text,json,json-pretty} set log format (default json)
-l, --log-level {debug,info,error} set log level (default error)
--log-timestamp-format string set log timestamp format (OPA_LOG_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT environment variable)
--set stringArray override config values on the command line (use commas to specify multiple values)
--set-file stringArray override config values with files on the command line (use commas to specify multiple values)
opa fmt
Format Rego source files
Synopsis
Format Rego source files.
The ‘fmt’ command takes a Rego source file and outputs a reformatted version. If no file path is provided - this tool will use stdin. The format of the output is not defined specifically; whatever this tool outputs is considered correct format (with the exception of bugs).
If the ‘-w’ option is supplied, the ‘fmt’ command with overwrite the source file instead of printing to stdout.
If the ‘-d’ option is supplied, the ‘fmt’ command will output a diff between the original and formatted source.
If the ‘-l’ option is supplied, the ‘fmt’ command will output the names of files that would change if formatted. The ‘-l’ option will suppress any other output to stdout from the ‘fmt’ command.
If the ‘–fail’ option is supplied, the ‘fmt’ command will return a non zero exit code if a file would be reformatted.
opa fmt [path [...]] [flags]
Options
-d, --diff only display a diff of the changes
--fail non zero exit code on reformat
-h, --help help for fmt
-l, --list list all files who would change when formatted
-w, --write overwrite the original source file
opa inspect
Inspect OPA bundle(s)
Synopsis
Inspect OPA bundle(s).
The ‘inspect’ command provides a summary of the contents in OPA bundle(s). Bundles are gzipped tarballs containing policies and data. The ‘inspect’ command reads bundle(s) and lists the following:
- packages that are contributed by .rego files
- data locations defined by the data.json and data.yaml files
- manifest data
- signature data
- information about the Wasm module files
- package- and rule annotations
Example:
$ ls
bundle.tar.gz
$ opa inspect bundle.tar.gz
You can provide exactly one OPA bundle or path to the ‘inspect’ command on the command-line. If you provide a path referring to a directory, the ‘inspect’ command will load that path as a bundle and summarize its structure and contents.
opa inspect <path> [<path> [...]] [flags]
Options
-a, --annotations list annotations
-f, --format {json,pretty} set output format (default pretty)
-h, --help help for inspect
opa parse
Parse Rego source file
Synopsis
Parse Rego source file and print AST.
opa parse <path> [flags]
Options
-f, --format {pretty,json} set output format (default pretty)
-h, --help help for parse
opa run
Start OPA in interactive or server mode
Synopsis
Start an instance of the Open Policy Agent (OPA).
To run the interactive shell:
$ opa run
To run the server:
$ opa run -s
The ‘run’ command starts an instance of the OPA runtime. The OPA runtime can be started as an interactive shell or a server.
When the runtime is started as a shell, users can define rules and evaluate expressions interactively. When the runtime is started as a server, OPA exposes an HTTP API for managing policies, reading and writing data, and executing queries.
The runtime can be initialized with one or more files that contain policies or data. If the ‘–bundle’ option is specified the paths will be treated as policy bundles and loaded following standard bundle conventions. The path can be a compressed archive file or a directory which will be treated as a bundle. Without the ‘–bundle’ flag OPA will recursively load ALL rego, JSON, and YAML files.
When loading from directories, only files with known extensions are considered. The current set of file extensions that OPA will consider are:
.json # JSON data
.yaml or .yml # YAML data
.rego # Rego file
Non-bundle data file and directory paths can be prefixed with the desired destination in the data document with the following syntax:
<dotted-path>:<file-path>
To set a data file as the input document in the interactive shell use the “repl.input” path prefix with the input file:
repl.input:<file-path>
Example:
$ opa run repl.input:input.json
Which will load the “input.json” file at path “data.repl.input”.
Use the “help input” command in the interactive shell to see more options.
File paths can be specified as URLs to resolve ambiguity in paths containing colons:
$ opa run file:///c:/path/to/data.json
The ‘run’ command can also verify the signature of a signed bundle. A signed bundle is a normal OPA bundle that includes a file named “.signatures.json”. For more information on signed bundles see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signing.
The key to verify the signature of signed bundle can be provided using the –verification-key flag. For example, for RSA family of algorithms, the command expects a PEM file containing the public key. For HMAC family of algorithms (eg. HS256), the secret can be provided using the –verification-key flag.
The –verification-key-id flag can be used to optionally specify a name for the key provided using the –verification-key flag.
The –signing-alg flag can be used to specify the signing algorithm. The ‘run’ command uses RS256 (by default) as the signing algorithm.
The –scope flag can be used to specify the scope to use for bundle signature verification.
Example:
$ opa run --verification-key secret --signing-alg HS256 --bundle bundle.tar.gz
The ‘run’ command will read the bundle “bundle.tar.gz”, check the “.signatures.json” file and perform verification using the provided key. An error will be generated if “bundle.tar.gz” does not contain a “.signatures.json” file. For more information on the bundle verification process see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-verification.
The ‘run’ command can ONLY be used with the –bundle flag to verify signatures for existing bundle files or directories following the bundle structure.
To skip bundle verification, use the –skip-verify flag.

opa sign
Generate an OPA bundle signature
Synopsis
Generate an OPA bundle signature.
The ‘sign’ command generates a digital signature for policy bundles. It generates a “.signatures.json” file that dictates which files should be included in the bundle, what their SHA hashes are, and is cryptographically secure.
The signatures file is a JSON file with an array containing a single JSON Web Token (JWT) that encapsulates the signature for the bundle.
The –signing-alg flag can be used to specify the algorithm to sign the token. The ‘sign’ command uses RS256 (by default) as the signing algorithm. See https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/configuration/#keys for a list of supported signing algorithms.
The key to be used for signing the JWT MUST be provided using the –signing-key flag. For example, for RSA family of algorithms, the command expects a PEM file containing the private key. For HMAC family of algorithms (eg. HS256), the secret can be provided using the –signing-key flag.
OPA ‘sign’ can ONLY be used with the –bundle flag to load paths that refer to existing bundle files or directories following the bundle structure.
$ opa sign --signing-key /path/to/private_key.pem --bundle foo
Where foo has the following structure:
foo/
|
+-- bar/
| |
| +-- data.json
|
+-- policy.rego
|
+-- .manifest
This will create a “.signatures.json” file in the current directory. The –output-file-path flag can be used to specify a different location for the “.signatures.json” file.
The content of the “.signatures.json” file is shown below:

And the decoded JWT payload has the following form:
{
"files": [
{
"name": ".manifest",
"hash": "18745de72c01e80cd9f520f418c009ac4d2c3d02b17a50e2d042158bc352a32d",
"algorithm": "SHA-256"
},
{
"name": "policy.rego",
"hash": "d0f242aae34db54ef566bea4d45fcf19700c5d8f87a9db932dfad6d1f0f291ac",
"algorithm": "SHA-256"
},
{
"name": "bar/data.json",
"hash": "93a23971a914e5eacbf0a8d25154cda309c3c1c72fbb9914d47c60f3cb681588",
"algorithm": "SHA-256"
}
]
}
The “files” field is generated from the files under the directory path(s) provided to the ‘sign’ command. During bundle signature verification, OPA will check each file name (ex. “foo/bar/data.json”) in the “files” field exists in the actual bundle. The file content is hashed using SHA256.
To include additional claims in the payload use the –claims-file flag to provide a JSON file containing optional claims.
For more information on the format of the “.signatures.json” file see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-format.
opa sign <path> [<path> [...]] [flags]
Options
-b, --bundle load paths as bundle files or root directories
--claims-file string set path of JSON file containing optional claims (see: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-format)
-h, --help help for sign
-o, --output-file-path string set the location for the .signatures.json file (default ".")
--signing-alg string name of the signing algorithm (default "RS256")
--signing-key string set the secret (HMAC) or path of the PEM file containing the private key (RSA and ECDSA)
--signing-plugin string name of the plugin to use for signing/verification (see https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/management-bundles/#signature-plugin
opa test
Execute Rego test cases
Synopsis
Execute Rego test cases.
The ’test’ command takes a file or directory path as input and executes all test cases discovered in matching files. Test cases are rules whose names have the prefix “test_”.
If the ‘–bundle’ option is specified the paths will be treated as policy bundles and loaded following standard bundle conventions. The path can be a compressed archive file or a directory which will be treated as a bundle. Without the ‘–bundle’ flag OPA will recursively load ALL *.rego, *.json, and *.yaml files for evaluating the test cases.
Test cases under development may be prefixed “todo_” in order to skip their execution, while still getting marked as skipped in the test results.
Example policy (example/authz.rego):
package authz
import future.keywords.if
allow if {
input.path == ["users"]
input.method == "POST"
}
allow if {
input.path == ["users", input.user_id]
input.method == "GET"
}
Example test (example/authz_test.rego):
package authz_test
import data.authz.allow
test_post_allowed {
allow with input as {"path": ["users"], "method": "POST"}
}
test_get_denied {
not allow with input as {"path": ["users"], "method": "GET"}
}
test_get_user_allowed {
allow with input as {"path": ["users", "bob"], "method": "GET", "user_id": "bob"}
}
test_get_another_user_denied {
not allow with input as {"path": ["users", "bob"], "method": "GET", "user_id": "alice"}
}
todo_test_user_allowed_http_client_data {
false # Remember to test this later!
}
Example test run:
$ opa test ./example/
If used with the ‘–bench’ option then tests will be benchmarked.
Example benchmark run:
$ opa test --bench ./example/
The optional “gobench” output format conforms to the Go Benchmark Data Format.
opa test <path> [path [...]] [flags]
Options
--bench benchmark the unit tests
--benchmem report memory allocations with benchmark results (default true)
-b, --bundle load paths as bundle files or root directories
--capabilities string set capabilities version or capabilities.json file path
--count int number of times to repeat each test (default 1)
-c, --coverage report coverage (overrides debug tracing)
-z, --exit-zero-on-skipped skipped tests return status 0
--explain {fails,full,notes,debug} enable query explanations (default fails)
-f, --format {pretty,json,gobench} set output format (default pretty)
-h, --help help for test
--ignore strings set file and directory names to ignore during loading (e.g., '.*' excludes hidden files)
-m, --max-errors int set the number of errors to allow before compilation fails early (default 10)
-r, --run string run only test cases matching the regular expression.
-t, --target {rego,wasm} set the runtime to exercise (default rego)
--threshold float set coverage threshold and exit with non-zero status if coverage is less than threshold %
--timeout duration set test timeout (default 5s, 30s when benchmarking)
-v, --verbose set verbose reporting mode
opa version
Print the version of OPA
Synopsis
Show version and build information for OPA.
opa version [flags]
Options
-c, --check check for latest OPA release
-h, --help help for version
