Error message

bin/cake directory_sync test --verbose for more details

What it means

Companion hint printed by TestCommand::displayInvalidEntries telling the operator to re-run `bin/cake directory_sync test --verbose` to see detailed per-entry validation errors. It is informational output, not an exception; it always accompanies the invalid-users message.

Solutions

Run `bin/cake passbolt directory_sync test --verbose` to print each invalid user's errors and JSON payload.
Fix the directory data or attribute mapping per the printed errors.

Example fix

// before
bin/cake directory_sync test --verbose
// after
bin/cake passbolt directory_sync test --verbose

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

exec('bin/cake passbolt directory_sync test --verbose', $out, $code);
if ($code !== 0) { /* inspect $out for per-entry errors */ }

Prevention

Always run the test command with --verbose when invalid entries are reported
Use the full namespaced command: bin/cake passbolt directory_sync

When it happens

Trigger: Same run as the invalid-users warning: `bin/cake passbolt directory_sync test` with invalid user entries, printed unconditionally after the count message.

Common situations: Operators seeing invalid entries and needing the follow-up command; confusing older syntax `bin/cake directory_sync` instead of the namespaced `bin/cake passbolt directory_sync`.

Understand the failure class

Background: Schema validation failed / invalid input schema: payload rejected because its shape doesn't match the expected schema — this error's family across 28 libraries.
