Steps

Docs for Legacy Checkpoints (<=0.13.7)

1. Checkpoints can be run like applications from the command line by running:

great_expectations checkpoint run my_checkpoint
Validation failed!

2. Next, observe the output which will tell you if all validations passed or failed.

This command will return posix status codes and print messages as follows:

Situation	Return code	Message
all validations passed	0	Validation succeeded!
one or more validation failed	1	Validation failed!

Docs for Class-Based Checkpoints (>=0.13.8)

The CLI does not yet support the new-style Checkpoints. Please refer to How to run a Checkpoint in python for a how-to guide on running a Checkpoint.
