Chains CLI reference

truss chains [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

`init`

Initialize a Chain project.

truss chains init [OPTIONS] [DIRECTORY]

DIRECTORY (optional): Path to a new or empty directory for the Chain. Defaults to the current directory if omitted.

Options:

Example: To create a new Chain project in a directory called my-chain, use the following:

truss chains init my-chain

Deploy a Chain.

truss chains push [OPTIONS] SOURCE [ENTRYPOINT]

SOURCE: Path to a Python file that contains the entrypoint chainlet.
ENTRYPOINT (optional): Class name of the entrypoint chainlet. If omitted, the chainlet tagged with @chains.mark_entrypoint is used.

Options:

--name (TEXT): Custom name for the Chain (defaults to entrypoint name).
--publish / --no-publish: Create chainlets as a published deployment.
--promote / --no-promote: Promote newly deployed chainlets into production.
--environment (TEXT): Deploy chainlets into a particular environment.
--wait / --no-wait: Wait until all chainlets are ready (or deployment failed).
--watch / --no-watch: Watch the Chains source code and apply live patches. Using this option waits for the Chain to be deployed (the --wait flag is applied) before starting to watch for changes. This option requires the deployment to be a development deployment.
--experimental-chainlet-names (TEXT): Run watch, but only apply patches to specified chainlets. The option is a comma-separated list of chainlet (display) names. This option can give faster dev loops, but also lead to inconsistent deployments. Use with caution and refer to docs.
--dryrun: Produce only generated files, but don’t deploy anything.
--remote (TEXT): Name of the remote in .trussrc to push to.
--log [humanfriendly|I|INFO|D|DEBUG]: Customize logging.
--help: Show this message and exit.

Example: To deploy a Chain as a development deployment, use the following:

truss chains push my_chain.py

To deploy and promote to production, use the following:

truss chains push my_chain.py --publish --promote

Live reload development.

truss chains watch [OPTIONS] SOURCE [ENTRYPOINT]

SOURCE: Path to a Python file containing the entrypoint chainlet.
ENTRYPOINT (optional): Class name of the entrypoint chainlet. If omitted, the chainlet tagged with @chains.mark_entrypoint is used.

Options:

--name (TEXT): Name of the Chain to be deployed. If not given, the entrypoint name is used.
--remote (TEXT): Name of the remote in .trussrc to push to.
--experimental-chainlet-names (TEXT): Run watch, but only apply patches to specified chainlets. The option is a comma-separated list of chainlet (display) names. This option can give faster dev loops, but also lead to inconsistent deployments. Use with caution and refer to docs.
--log [humanfriendly|W|WARNING|I|INFO|D|DEBUG]: Customize logging.
--help: Show this message and exit.

Example: To watch a Chain for live reload during development, use the following:

truss chains watch my_chain.py
