mathias 3873987c19 Always update connections.env and fix double-toggled connection line
Drop the --legacy flag: set_local_db and toggle_index now run
unconditionally instead of only when -l was passed, since that was the
flag's only effect.

Fix set_dot_env writing the connection/RCC_CONNECTION line twice with
opposing polarity (once from the #docker pass, once from the #cidb
pass), which flipped it to the wrong value. Collapsed the three
separate open/read/write passes into one, toggling both sections and
the connection line in a single scan so the connection line is only
ever touched once.

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>
Argument Description
project Project key (matches <PROJECT>_DIR in the config, case-insensitive)
up / down Start or stop the environment

Examples

# Start the environment for project "foo"
dev_tools foo up

# Stop it
dev_tools foo down

What it does

  1. Starts or stops the Docker Compose service defined by DOCKER_SERVICE / DOCKER_DIR.
  2. Modifies conf/global/connections.env and marks it with git update-index --assume-unchanged to avoid accidental commits.
  3. Toggles database connection entries in <PROJECT_DIR>/conf/local/.env: up switches the connection to ci, down switches it to staging.

Tests

cargo test
