Related CLI clients

All CLI clients have a standard interface and implementation.

Installation

Unzip the distribution package and put the enclosed directory in a convenient location
Ensure Remote API is enabled in your installation
- You need to be an administrator
- Go to Admin menu -> General Administration -> Server Settings -> Remote API
- Setting should be ON

Usage

On a command line, cd to the directory where you installed the client
On Windows
- Run crucible
On Linux (or Windows)
- Run java -jar release/crucible-cli-1.0.0.jar
This will show help text for the command line interface client
The client defaults to use a user of automation. Either add this user with all the authorities required to do the actions you want or specify a different user parameter
It is recommended that you open the crucible.bat file with an editor and customize it for your environment by adding server, user, and password parameters. Follow the example in the comments and make sure you do not remove the %* at the end of the line.

Examples

Note: the following examples assume that the crucible.bat file has been customized for your environment as noted above.

crucible --action listReviews

crucible --action listReviews --state "review,summarize"

crucible --action getReview --review CR-1

crucible --action getReview --review CR-1 --attribute comments

Help text

This is the help text displayed by the default command or using --help. This gives the precise definition of parameters, however, it might be easier to just look at the examples. Note, the information in this section is automatically generated, so if you have edit suggestions, add a comment. Otherwise, your edits will be replaced on the next update.

Tips

Use single dash for single letter parameters - example: -v
Use double dash for multi-letter parameters - example: --help
When parameters are specified, most need a value - example: --action listReviews
Some parameters are flags (boolean) and must not be followed by a value - example: --verbose
Parameter names are case sensitive, but, action values are not - example: --PATH is invalid but --action listreviews is equivalent to --action listReviews
Some parameters become required once a specific action is chosen. This is indicated in the help text for each value.
Some parameters have both short (one letter) and long (more than one letter) parameter names - example: -a or --action are the same
Some parameters have default values, if so, they are indicated below - example: (default: automation)
Some parameters are required - indicated by (...) - example: (-a|--action) <action>
Some parameters are optional - indicated by [CODEGEIST:...] - example: [(-f|http://developer.atlassian.com]
Values that have more than one word must be enclosed by double quotes - example: --query "select ..."
