examples / cli help

[tdensmore]

My company uses reTool and I was hoping to use the CLI to drive some automation.

I am running reTool from a Docker container to prevent users from having to install NPM, so the web auth doesn't work. However I did manage to login using the scraped tokens.

I would like to set default values for new internal organizations using the CLI. However it is unclear to me how to interact with apps / dbs from the command line.

retool apps --list shows me 4 apps. Now what?

retool db -l gives me No tables found. although I see some in the UI.

Are there examples or CLI docs you can point me to?

Hey @tdensmore, thanks for trying out the CLI!

Full disclosure: the CLI is pretty new and may not support everything you might expect it to. What kind of values were you hoping to set for new orgs?

Are there examples or CLI docs you can point me to?

The only documentation that exists right now is retool help or retool <command> --help.

retool db -l gives me No tables found. although I see some in the UI.

That is unexpected. You're definitely logged in to the same Retool account, correct? Does retool apps -l and retool workflows -l show what you would expect to see?

[tdensmore]

Sorry for the delay. I did not see the notification.

Yes retool apps -l and retool workflows -l show me the things I would expect. One of the apps that is shown is the app I would like to use. How do I do that?

Additionally the command retool db -l says: "No tables found."

I must be doing something wrong...

CLI doesn't currently support "using" an app like you might expect from the browser. What kind of automation were you hoping to drive?

Not necessarily! For reference, here's what I would expect to see:
