# Overview of ANTA's Command-Line Interface (CLI)
|
||||
|
||||
ANTA provides a powerful Command-Line Interface (CLI) to perform a wide range of operations. This document provides a comprehensive overview of ANTA CLI usage and its commands.
|
||||
|
||||
ANTA can also be used as a Python library, allowing you to build your own tools based on it. Visit this [page](../advanced_usages/as-python-lib.md) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
To start using the ANTA CLI, open your terminal and type `anta`.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning
|
||||
The ANTA CLI options have changed after version 0.11 and have moved away from the top level `anta` and are now required at their respective commands (e.g. `anta nrfu`). This breaking change occurs after users feedback on making the CLI more intuitive. This change should not affect user experience when using environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
## Invoking ANTA CLI
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ anta --help
|
||||
--8<-- "anta_help.txt"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ANTA environement variables
|
||||
|
||||
Certain parameters are required and can be either passed to the ANTA CLI or set as an environment variable (ENV VAR).
|
||||
|
||||
To pass the parameters via the CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
anta nrfu -u admin -p arista123 -i inventory.yaml -c tests.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To set them as environment variables:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export ANTA_USERNAME=admin
|
||||
export ANTA_PASSWORD=arista123
|
||||
export ANTA_INVENTORY=inventory.yml
|
||||
export ANTA_INVENTORY=tests.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, run the CLI without options:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
anta nrfu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
All environement variables may not be needed for every commands.
|
||||
Refer to `<command> --help` for the comprehensive environment varibles names.
|
||||
|
||||
Below are the environement variables usable with the `anta nrfu` command:
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable Name | Purpose | Required |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------- |----------|
|
||||
| ANTA_USERNAME | The username to use in the inventory to connect to devices. | Yes |
|
||||
| ANTA_PASSWORD | The password to use in the inventory to connect to devices. | Yes |
|
||||
| ANTA_INVENTORY | The path to the inventory file. | Yes |
|
||||
| ANTA_CATALOG | The path to the catalog file. | Yes |
|
||||
| ANTA_PROMPT | The value to pass to the prompt for password is password is not provided | No |
|
||||
| ANTA_INSECURE | Whether or not using insecure mode when connecting to the EOS devices HTTP API. | No |
|
||||
| ANTA_DISABLE_CACHE | A variable to disable caching for all ANTA tests (enabled by default). | No |
|
||||
| ANTA_ENABLE | Whether it is necessary to go to enable mode on devices. | No |
|
||||
| ANTA_ENABLE_PASSWORD | The optional enable password, when this variable is set, ANTA_ENABLE or `--enable` is required. | No |
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info
|
||||
Caching can be disabled with the global parameter `--disable-cache`. For more details about how caching is implemented in ANTA, please refer to [Caching in ANTA](../advanced_usages/caching.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## ANTA Exit Codes
|
||||
|
||||
ANTA CLI utilizes the following exit codes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Exit code 0` - All tests passed successfully.
|
||||
- `Exit code 1` - An internal error occurred while executing ANTA.
|
||||
- `Exit code 2` - A usage error was raised.
|
||||
- `Exit code 3` - Tests were run, but at least one test returned an error.
|
||||
- `Exit code 4` - Tests were run, but at least one test returned a failure.
|
||||
|
||||
To ignore the test status, use `anta nrfu --ignore-status`, and the exit code will always be 0.
|
||||
|
||||
To ignore errors, use `anta nrfu --ignore-error`, and the exit code will be 0 if all tests succeeded or 1 if any test failed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Shell Completion
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable shell completion for the ANTA CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
=== "ZSH"
|
||||
|
||||
If you use ZSH shell, add the following line in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
eval "$(_ANTA_COMPLETE=zsh_source anta)" > /dev/null
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
=== "BASH"
|
||||
|
||||
With bash, add the following line in your `~/.bashrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
eval "$(_ANTA_COMPLETE=bash_source anta)" > /dev/null
|
||||
```
