main
dev_tools
CLI tool to start and stop a local RCC test environment. It manages a Docker Compose service and toggles environment variable files between local and CI database configurations.
Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain (stable)
- Docker with Compose plugin
Configuration
The tool reads from a dotenv-style file at ~/.config/rcc/dev. The following variables are required:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
DOCKER_SERVICE |
Name of the Docker container to check if it is running |
DOCKER_DIR |
Path to the Docker Compose directory, relative to $HOME |
<PROJECT>_DIR |
Absolute path to the project directory (one per project, e.g. FOO_DIR) |
Example ~/.config/rcc/dev:
DOCKER_SERVICE=my-container
DOCKER_DIR=repos/docker/local
FOO_DIR=/home/user/repos/foo
Build & Install
cargo build --release
# or install directly into ~/.cargo/bin
cargo install --path .
Usage
dev_tools <project> <up|down> [--legacy]
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
project |
Project key (matches <PROJECT>_DIR in the config, case-insensitive) |
up / down |
Start or stop the environment |
-l, --legacy |
Enable legacy mode: also toggles conf/global/connections.env and runs git update-index |
Examples
# Start the environment for project "foo"
dev_tools foo up
# Stop it
dev_tools foo down
# Start with legacy env handling
dev_tools foo up --legacy
What it does
- Starts or stops the Docker Compose service defined by
DOCKER_SERVICE/DOCKER_DIR. - Toggles database connection entries in
<PROJECT_DIR>/conf/local/.envbetweenstagingand CI values. - With
--legacy: additionally modifiesconf/global/connections.envand marks it withgit update-index --assume-unchangedto avoid accidental commits.
