cli

The Zoo command line tool.

The instructions below refer to instructions for contributing to the repo.

For the CLI docs for end users refer to: https://zoo.dev/docs/cli/manual

Installing

On MacOS, you can use Homebrew:

brew tap kittycad/kittycad
brew install kittycad
zoo --help   

For all other installs, see the instructions on the latest release.

Updating the API spec

Updating the API spec is as simple as updating the spec.json file. The macro will take it from there when you cargo build. It likely might need some tender love and care to make it a nice command like the other generated ones if it is out of the ordinary.

Only create, edit, view/get, list, delete commands are generated. The rest are bespoke and any generation lead to something that seemed harder to maintain over time. But if you are brave you can try.

For examples of the macro formatting, checkout some of the commands under src/ like cmd_file or cmd_user.

Note: If you update the API spec here, you will likely want to bump the spec for the kittycad.rs repo as well since that is where the API client comes from.

Running the tests

The tests use the ZOO_TEST_TOKEN variables for knowing how to authenticate.

Releasing a new version

1. Make sure the Cargo.toml has the new version you want to release.
2. Run make tag this is just an easy command for making a tag formatted correctly with the version.
3. Push the tag (the result of make tag gives instructions for this)
4. Everything else is triggered from the tag push. Just make sure all the tests and cross compilation pass on the main branch before making and pushing a new tag.

Building

To build, simply run cargo build like usual.

Make sure to update to the latest stable rustc: for example, if you use rustup, run rustup update.

Cross compiling

If you're on Debian or Ubuntu, install the required dependencies by running .github/workflows/cross-deps.sh. Otherwise, look there to see what packages are required.

Then, simply run make. Binaries will be available in cross/.

If you want to only build one of the cross targets, supply the CROSS_TARGETS environment variable:

CROSS_TARGETS=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl make

If you get an error about md5sum on mac when running make release, you probably need to brew install coreutils
