Mistral Client Commands Guide
=============================
The Mistral CLI can be used with ``mistral`` command or via `OpenStackClient
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/>`_.
Mistral Client
--------------
The best way to learn about all the commands and arguments that are expected
is to use the ``mistral help`` command.
.. code-block:: bash
$ mistral help
usage: mistral [--version] [-v] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [-q] [-h] [--debug]
[--os-mistral-url MISTRAL_URL]
[--os-mistral-version MISTRAL_VERSION]
[--os-mistral-service-type SERVICE_TYPE]
...
It can also be used with the name of a sub-command.
.. code-block:: bash
$ mistral help execution-create
usage: mistral execution-create [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
[-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
[--print-empty] [--noindent] [--prefix PREFIX]
[-d DESCRIPTION]
workflow_identifier [workflow_input] [params]
Create new execution.
positional arguments:
workflow_identifier Workflow ID or name. Workflow name will be deprecated
since Mitaka.
...
OpenStack Client
----------------
OpenStack client works in a similar way, the command ``openstack help`` shows
all the available commands and then ``openstack help <sub-command>`` will show
the detailed usage.
The full list of Mistral commands that are registered with OpenStack client
can be listed with ``openstack command list``. By default it will list all
commands grouped together, but we can specify only the Mistral command group.
.. code-block:: bash
$ openstack command list --group openstack.workflow_engine.v2
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Command Group | Commands |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| openstack.workflow_engine.v2 | action definition create |
| | action definition show |
| | action definition delete |
| | action definition list |
| | action definition show |
| | action definition update |
| | action execution delete |
...
Then detailed help output can be requested for an individual command.
.. code-block:: bash
$ openstack help workflow execution create
usage: openstack workflow execution create [-h]
[-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
[-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
[--print-empty] [--noindent]
[--prefix PREFIX] [-d DESCRIPTION]
workflow_identifier
[workflow_input] [params]
Create new execution.
positional arguments:
workflow_identifier Workflow ID or name. Workflow name will be deprecated
since Mitaka.
workflow_input Workflow input
params Workflow additional parameters
