Mac OS

Since arm-cli is not signed you may receive a couple of messages regarding security. To execute the binaries you need to:

1. When you execute arm-cli on the console you may see this message.

1. Open Spotlight search in your Mac OS and search for Security & Privacy.

1. Once you opened this option go to General Tab and you will see on the bottom a button to "Allow Anyway" pointing at the bin, click on it.

1. Once you click on it the button will dissapear.

2. Try to execute again the binary in your console and arm-cli should be working.

IntelliJ Integration

The CLI can be configured to run within IntelliJ. This allows you to validate pipelines being edited without having to switch context to a terminal.

1. Add the CLI as an External Tool

Open Preferences and navigate to Tools -> External Tools. Click on the "+" button to add a new configuration with the following values:

• Program: path to where the CLI is installed

• Arguments: dinghy render $FilePathRelativeToProjectRoot$ --modules <directory where templates repository checked out locally>

• Working directory: $ProjectFileDir$

  

1. Bind the CLI to a shortcut

In Preferences nagivate to Keymap. Expand "External Tools" and add a Keyboard shortcut for the CLI.

1. Run CLI on open dinghyfile

When editing a dinghyfile you can invoke the CLI using the keyboard shortcut. The CLI will run against the open dinghyfile being edited.

Usage

Both the Dinghyfile and module repo must be available locally, there is an example folder build in the release zip file. For each file the command would be a little different depending if they use modules(other templating files) or rawdata (git push information). You can execute dinghy render --help anytime to get current supported parameters.
