the `project:validate` command doesn't seem to take any sort of parameter (according to the `--help`) where I indicate what account to validate against?

If takes the default account in your project.json.
If you change the default account, it will be validated against that account.

You can change the default account by running account:setup and select the account/authid you want to use. It will be selected as default and then you can run any sdf action with the newly selected authid

thanks Ali. If I run the webstorm plugin to validate against an account (it gives me a dropdown) will it restore my default account to what it was, or does it reset my 'default' account to whatever I selected?

I ask because I'm using the node cli as well and hope validating to another account using the webstorm UI doesn't secretly change the default account my nodecli is using?

It would be  **VERY** useful if the nodecli displayed what account it was validating against as it executes.

Yes i understand, that could be an enhancement. I would definitely propose this to the team. Could you please file an ehancement request on github?

When webstorm offers a drop down to select an account when execuing ”deploy to account", ”validate from account" it uses the selected account on fly. It doesn't change the default account.

Node cli does show the account when validating against an account.

In case of local validation, no account information is shown as no account was reached.

if you execute `project:validate` it triggers local validation
`project:validate --server` validates against account

or you could simply execute `project:validate -i` it will let you choose which kind of validation you want. Local or Against account.

nodecli 1.0.4 does *not* show the account validating against.

unless I'm missing it above - that's all the output I get from `project:validate -i` after answering the questions

Okay got it. Yes it should show the account used.

Hopefully in the upcoming version we will show the account
