Fixes #4776

Description

Adds a new vendure doctor CLI command that runs diagnostic checks on a Vendure project and produces actionable output for debugging.

Implemented checks

Check What it does
Project Verifies Vendure project structure, config file discovery, package manager detection, lockfile consistency, monorepo support
Dependencies Detects mismatched @vendure/* package versions, duplicate singleton dependencies (graphql, typeorm, @nestjs/core, @nestjs/common, @apollo/server), verifies DB driver is installed
Config Loads the Vendure config using the same ts-node/path-mapping pipeline as other CLI commands, runs preBootstrapConfig() to validate custom fields and entities, checks plugin compatibility ranges
Schema Builds Admin API and Shop API GraphQL schemas to verify all plugin extensions and custom field types compile
Database Tests database connectivity with safe read-only overrides, warns about synchronize: true
Production (--profile production) Checks for unsafe production settings: disableAuth, default superadmin credentials, missing cookie secret, introspection/playground/debug enabled, broad CORS, in-memory job queue/cache/session strategies, missing asset storage

CLI options

vendure doctor
vendure doctor --config ./src/vendure-config.ts
vendure doctor --check dependencies --check config
vendure doctor --profile production
vendure doctor --format json
vendure doctor --strict

Example output

Vendure Doctor

Project         pass  Vendure config found at src/vendure-config.ts
Dependencies    pass  All dependency checks passed
Config          pass  Vendure config loaded and validated successfully
Schema          pass  Admin and Shop schemas generated successfully
Database        pass  Successfully connected to postgres database
Production      warn  Production warnings detected

Result: passed (1 warning)

What is NOT included (documented as TODO for follow-up)

  • Pending migration detection
  • Schema drift detection (requires createSchemaBuilder().log() pattern from core/src/migrate.ts)

Both are documented as TODOs in database-check.ts with implementation hints.

Existing utilities reused

  • analyzeProject(), VendureConfigRef, loadVendureConfigFile() from CLI shared modules
  • preBootstrapConfig(), getCompatibility(), VENDURE_VERSION, resetConfig() from @vendure/core
  • detectMonorepoStructure(), findPackageJsonWithDependency() from CLI monorepo utils
  • No new dependencies added

Breaking changes

None. This is a new command with no changes to existing functionality.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds a new non-mutating CLI command, vendure doctor, which runs composable checks: project discovery, dependency health, config loading/compatibility, GraphQL schema generation, optional read-only DB connectivity, and an optional production-safety profile. Each check returns structured CheckResult entries; an orchestrator aggregates them into a DoctorReport, computes overallStatus (honoring --strict), formats output (console or JSON), and exits with an appropriate code. The change includes type definitions, formatters, command registration, orchestration logic, and extensive tests for individual checks and command behavior.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid forcing success exit code for doctor command.

Hard-coding process.exit(0) can suppress diagnostic failure signaling (notably --strict CI use-cases) when the command intends to report non-zero outcomes.

Suggested change
         action: async options => {
             const { doctorCommand } = await import('./doctor/doctor');
             await doctorCommand(options);

This is the standard pattern across ALL 4 existing commands (add, migrate, codemod, schema). doctorCommand() calls process.exit(1) internally before this line is reached on failure

@Ryrahul, you're right — I missed that doctorCommand already calls process.exit(1) internally when overallStatus is 'failed', so process.exit(0) here is only ever reached on success. This is indeed consistent with the add, migrate, codemod, and schema commands. My earlier comment was mistaken. No change needed here.

Use delete to clear the CLI env flag

On Line 87, setting process.env.VENDURE_RUNNING_IN_CLI = undefined leaves the string "undefined" in process.env. Since isRunningFromVendureCli() checks process.env.VENDURE_RUNNING_IN_CLI != null, the flag can remain enabled and leak CLI-mode state across checks in the same process.

Proposed fix
-        process.env.VENDURE_RUNNING_IN_CLI = undefined;
+        delete process.env.VENDURE_RUNNING_IN_CLI;

Apply the same cleanup anywhere else this env var is cleared with = undefined (e.g. in schema.ts and migrate.ts).

The existing schema.ts and migrate.ts both use = undefined across 4 occurrences. Changing only our code would be inconsistent. The behavior is equivalent here since the check is === 'true'. Happy to address this repo-wide in a separate PR if desired.

@Ryrahul, that's a fair point. If isRunningFromVendureCli() guards against === 'true', then assigning undefined (which coerces to the string "undefined") does not satisfy that condition, so CLI mode is effectively cleared — the behavior is equivalent. My concern was predicated on a != null check, which doesn't apply here.

The consistency argument also holds; introducing delete only in the new code while leaving the existing pattern unchanged in schema.ts and migrate.ts would create unnecessary inconsistency.

A repo-wide cleanup PR would be the right place to standardize this. Would you like me to open a follow-up issue to track that?

I double-checked and isRunningFromVendureCli() in core/src/migrate.ts:256 uses != null (loose inequality), not === 'true' as I initially stated. So = undefined does coerce to the string "undefined" which satisfies != null, meaning the flag technically leaks. In practice it doesn't cause a bug since the doctor command exits after running and no migration code shares the same process.

@Ryrahul, thanks for double-checking — that confirms my original analysis was correct. The string "undefined" does satisfy != null, so the flag technically leaks within the process.

You're right that it's benign here because the doctor command exits before any migration code could run in the same process. But it's still a latent footgun if the check order ever changes or the function gets called in a context that doesn't exit immediately.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue to track a repo-wide cleanup (replacing = undefined with delete process.env.VENDURE_RUNNING_IN_CLI across config-check.ts, schema.ts, migrate.ts, and any other occurrences)?

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Duplicate package scan has a false-negative blind spot.

Skipping hidden directories means nested installs under hidden package-manager folders are never scanned, so singleton duplication checks can incorrectly pass even when multiple versions are installed.

Suggested direction
-        // Skip the target package itself and hidden directories
-        if (entry === targetPkg || entry.startsWith('.')) continue;
+        // Skip the target package itself
+        if (entry === targetPkg) continue;

Then explicitly handle known hidden dependency stores (or switch to lockfile/package-manager metadata based detection) to avoid deep/manual traversal pitfalls.

Some initial feedback from testing this on a couple of local Vendure projects:

image
  1. Dependency check fails, but it is not obvious what it is failing on. I am guessing it is because of the multiple graphql versions. However, this particular project runs just fine - it’s a monorepo so maybe that adds more complexity to this particular check. Either we isolate the exact conditions in which multiple graphql versions cause a failure, or we downgrade that to a warning
  2. Again the config warnings are non-obvious, though I guess it is the lack of compatibility range in some plugins.
  3. This one is not clear whether it is just checking for the existence of the generated schema files, or if it actually went ahead and generated them. If the latter, I think that should not be done automatically, but could be some follow up step where “fixes” can be actioned.

Overall I think it’s mainly the presentation of the results that needs some work. Each line needs some visual indicator as to whether it is OK, warn, or fail.

Additional feedback from Claude review:

  • findNestedPackageVersions skips .pnpm dirs, so duplicate detection is broken under pnpm — document as known limitation (or solve)
  • No e2e smoke test (other CLI commands have them)

image 1. Dependency check fails, but it is not obvious what it is failing on. I am guessing it is because of the multiple graphql versions. However, this particular project runs just fine - it’s a monorepo so maybe that adds more complexity to this particular check. Either we isolate the exact conditions in which multiple graphql versions cause a failure, or we downgrade that to a warning 2. Again the config warnings are non-obvious, though I guess it is the lack of compatibility range in some plugins. 3. This one is not clear whether it is just _checking for the existence of_ the generated schema files, or if it actually went ahead and generated them. If the latter, I think that should not be done automatically, but could be some follow up step where “fixes” can be actioned.

Overall I think it’s mainly the presentation of the results that needs some work. Each line needs some visual indicator as to whether it is OK, warn, or fail.

Additional feedback from Claude review:

  • findNestedPackageVersions skips .pnpm dirs, so duplicate detection is broken under pnpm — document as known limitation (or solve)
  • No e2e smoke test (other CLI commands have them)

Yeah sure , thanks for the feedback . Will look into it a bit more , it definitely needs bit more better presentation

@michaelbromley One question on the version mismatch severity — I’ve updated the logic to distinguish between patch and minor/major mismatches:

Patch mismatch → warn

Dependencies    warn  Dependency warnings detected
                  Mismatched @vendure/* package versions (patch):
                    3.6.3: @vendure/core, @vendure/common, @vendure/dashboard
                    3.6.2: @vendure/email-plugin
Result: passed (1 warning)

Minor/major mismatch → fail

Dependencies    fail  Dependency issues detected
                  Mismatched @vendure/* package versions (minor/major):
                    3.7.0: @vendure/core, @vendure/common
                    3.6.3: @vendure/email-plugin, @vendure/dashboard
Result: failed (1 failure)

Does this feel like the right balance, or would you prefer all @vendure/* mismatches to be warnings since Vendure uses fixed versioning ? Happy to adjust either way.
