CLI 1.0.8: Site, Page and Test Profile Management

Last month I shared the announcement of Calibre’s new comand line interface & Node.js API. Here is what we’ve improved since with customer feedback.

We’ve had a fantastic response to the release of CLI. We’ve watched our customers create delivery pipelines that test performance following deployments, detailed custom spreadsheet reports and dashboards mixed with performance and business data. I hope to be able to share some of those stories with you soon.

CLI Updates: What’s new

As soon as CLI was out the door, we started adding functionality to further automate Calibre. Here’s a look at what was added:

• Add a site to Calibre

1calibre site create “My site” \ --location=Sydney \
2--url=”https://mysite.tld"

• Deletion of sites
• Add / Edit / Delete pages tracked by Calibre for a given site
• Add / Edit / Delete the Test Profiles used to test a given site

Node.js examples

We want you to have success with CLI quickly, so we’ve made sure to keep improving the Node.js examples as new features arrive.

Here are a few examples we’ve added:

• 🏁 Add a site with 3 pages & 2 Test profiles
• 🗺 Get a list of Calibre’s 14 test locations (in a one line command!)
• 🌍 Test a page from 14 global locations

🎬 Getting started with CLI

You’ll need a Calibre account to use CLI. There’s a free, 15-day trial, and we’re more than happy to help if there’s any questions along the way.

• CLI on Calibreapp.com
• Documentation
• Open sourced on GitHub

We can’t wait to see what you do with it!
