Heroku CLI

The Heroku CLI is used to manage Heroku apps from the command line. It is built using oclif.

For more about Heroku see https://www.heroku.com/home

Overview

This is the next generation Node-based Heroku CLI. The goals of this project were to make plugins more flexible, remove Ruby as a runtime dependency, and make the CLI faster.

It has identical functionality to the old Ruby CLI. Under the hood, it is a modular CLI made up of node.js plugins.

Developing

This project is built with lerna. The core plugins are located in ./packages.

After cloning the repo

1. Run yarn to install dependencies
2. Run yarn build to build the CLI. This will need to be re-run any time you make changes and want to test them locally.

To execute Heroku CLI commands locally, use ./bin/run <command>. For example, to run the heroku apps command with your local code, run ./bin/run apps from the root directory.

Testing

Run all tests with yarn test.

Run one test, in this case plugin-certs-v5, with yarn lerna run --scope @heroku-cli/plugin-certs-v5 test.

Debugging

Using WebStorm (from Jetbrains / IntelliJ), you can run/debug an individual test case.

• Create a new run/debug configuration
• Select the 'Mocha' type
• Set the working directory to the directory of the package you are using. (i.e. ~/Heroku/Repos/cli/packages/certs-v5)
