FsHotWatch.Cli 0.8.0-alpha.9

FsHotWatch.Cli

Command-line tool for the FsHotWatch daemon. It auto-starts the daemon in the background when you run any command, so you don't need to manually manage daemon lifecycle.

Install

dotnet tool install -g FsHotWatch.Cli

Quick start

# Run all checks (scan, build, lint, errors)
fs-hot-watch check

# Start daemon in foreground (useful for debugging)
fs-hot-watch start

# Check plugin statuses
fs-hot-watch status

Commands

Options

Examples

# Run tests for a specific project
fs-hot-watch test -p MyApp.Tests

# Run only previously-failed tests
fs-hot-watch test --only-failed

# Show just the lint plugin's status
fs-hot-watch status lint

# Query a plugin command directly
fs-hot-watch diagnostics
fs-hot-watch coverage
fs-hot-watch warnings

How it works

The CLI computes a deterministic pipe name from your repo root, then communicates with the daemon over named pipes (StreamJsonRpc). If the daemon isn't running or its config has changed, the CLI automatically starts/restarts it in the background.
