Ask HN: Do you validate your project's config files in your CI/CD pipeline

I’m curious if this is standard practice for most projects. If not, do you expect an error in your config files to be caught by unit and/or functional tests?

I’m the maintainer of a project[0] that could provide syntax validation for multiple config file types in a CI/CD pipeline. I haven’t really seen that type of quality gate in very many projects though.
