Conductor CLI

[NickTomlin]

I've been using a node.js based cli to simplify my conductor workflow and wanted to share it with you all to get some feedback. Here's a quick video overview:

Feature overview

(if you don't want to wait for the video, here's a brief text overview)

Running workflows

This is the feature I personally use the most, it's helpful to have a quick feedback loop when running workflow definitions.

##### Remote workflows #####
## execute a remote workflow with `workflowDef`
$ conductor workflow:run my.remote.workflow --overrideJson '{ 
    "input": { "name": "Nick" }
}'
66b15471-ea1a-4d43-8f94-3bd32dbd5c31 # UUID of execution

## execute a remote workflow with `workflowDef` provided by a file
$ cat simple/simple.input.json
{
  "input": {
    "names": ["Eleven", "Hopper", "Max", "Dustin"]
  }
}
$ conductor workflow:run my.remote.workflow --overrideFile simple/simple.input.json
66b15471-ea1a-4d43-8f94-3bd32dbd5c31 # UUID of execution


##### Local workflows #####
# a workflow def that is on my local machine
# (all the input options above apply)
$ conductor workflow:run simple/simple.conductor.json
66b15471-ea1a-4d43-8f94-3bd32dbd5c31 # UUID of execution

Opening in the conductor UI

The workflow:run command takes an --open flag that opens the workflow execution in the conductor UI.

Updating workflow and task metadata

##### Update workflows #####
$ conductor workflow:update simple/simple.conductor.json complex/complex.conductor.json

##### Update workflows #####
$ conductor tasks:update tasks/my-task.json

Use cases

• Easier onboarding / getting started
• Simplify and speed up development

❓ Questions ❓

I'm interested in opinions here, is this worth open sourcing? Are there different directions we should head in?

Hi there @sso679, if you are still experiencing an issue can you start a new thread to focus on that? Thanks!
