inso script

The Inso config file supports scripts, similar to NPM scripts defined in a package.json file. These scripts can be executed by running inso script <name>, or inso <name>. Any options passed to this command will be forwarded to the script being executed.

Command

inso script <name>

name is required, and must be a script defined in the loaded configuration file.

Global Flags

Option Alias Description
--output <path> -o Save the specification to a file in the working directory.
--workingDir <path> -w Specify a working directory/file, to find .insomnia folder, *.db.json, export.yaml

Examples

The following commands work when running in the example git-repo directory with the sample yaml file.

# .insorc.yaml

scripts:
  lint: lint spec "Sample Specification"

Run commands with or without the script prefix:

inso script gen-conf
inso gen-conf

If a conflict exists with another command (such as lint), you must prefix the command with script.

inso script lint
inso lint          # will not work

Any options passed during script execution will be forwarded to the script:

inso gen-conf                       # generates declarative config (default)
inso gen-conf:k8s                   # generates kubernetes config
inso gen-conf:k8s -t declarative    # generates declarative config
inso gen-conf:k8s -o output.yaml    # generates kubernetes config to output.yaml
