How to let orval fail with exit code 1 when there is a syntax error in the OpenAPI?

[Pallau]

We want to run Orval in a GitLab Pipeline so every time a change was made in an OpenAPI spec Orval should run and build the models, etc. and right away detect any issues with the specs. Thus we have a GitLab Pipeline to do this:

verify:
  stage: validate
  script:
    - 'npm i'
    - 'npx orval --config ./orval.config.js'
  artifacts:
    when: always
    paths:
      - src/ 

However the Pipeline is always successful despite the fact there are syntax errors:

Start orval v6.15.0 - A swagger client generator for typescript
⚠️  SyntaxError: Swagger schema validation failed.
  #/paths/~1disposition/get/parameters/0/schema/type must be equal to one of the allowed values
  #/paths/~1disposition/get/parameters/0/schema must have required property '$ref'
  #/paths/~1disposition/get/parameters/0/schema must match exactly one schema in oneOf
  #/paths/~1disposition/get/parameters/0 must have required property '$ref'
  #/paths/~1disposition/get/parameters/0 must match exactly one schema in oneOf

🎉 dispo-file - Your OpenAPI spec has been converted into ready to use orval!

Do you know how to configure the scripts so it fails when there are errors like above? The thing is that the exit code is 0 and not 1 despite the fact there is an SyntaxError.

The problem I've discussed also on StackOverflow with an alternative suggestion by someone to grab (grep) the error.

@Pallau a potential work around to this is to capture the output of the task run and fail based on existence of the warning emoji "⚠️" or "must"?
This can likely be achieved with:

1. nodejs running the task
2. Your own programmatic flavour- bash script or whatever
