Patrol CLI

Command-line tool to run and debug tests written with patrol framework.

Installation

From pub.dev

$ dart pub global activate patrol_cli

From git

1. Make sure that you have Dart >= 2.18 installed.

   $ dart --version
   

2. Clone the repo.

3. Go to packages/patrol_cli.

4. Run dart pub global activate --source path .

Troubleshooting

If you can't run patrol from the terminal and the error is something along the lines of "command not found", make sure that you've added appropriate directories to PATH:

• on Unix-like systems, add $HOME/.pub-cache/bin
• on Windows, add %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin

Disabling analytics

To disable analytics, set the PATROL_ANALYTICS_ENABLED environment variable to false.

Shell completion

Patrol CLI supports shell completion for bash, zsh and fish, thanks to the cli_completion package. It will automatically append code necessary to make the completion work to your shell's respective config file (e.g. ~/.zshrc). To disable this value, set the PATROL_NO_COMPLETION environment variable to any value.
