kubb studio

Run kubb studio to connect a project to Kubb Studio. Kubb runs on your machine and reports progress and generated file paths to Studio. Grant --allow-read to open a generated file in the browser.

WARNING

This feature is under active development. Use it with caution and expect breaking changes.

kubb studio

Usage

Connect the current project. If the project is not approved yet, Studio asks you to approve it before the session starts.

Terminal
shell
kubb studio

Actions

The positional argument selects the action. It defaults to connect.

Action Description
connect Connect, then hold a session open and generate on request.
login Connect this machine without opening a session.
logout Disconnect this machine from Studio.
status Show what this machine is connected as, plus the permissions saved for it.
snapshot Generate and publish a snapshot from a script, then exit. See Snapshot from CI.
kubb studio status

Options

Option Default Description
--config=<path>, -c <path> Path to a config file, such as ./kubb.staging.ts.
--url=<url> https://kubb.studio Base URL of the Studio instance to connect with.
--allow-read false Read the source of files a generation produced. Asked once per project when omitted.
--allow-write false Write generated files to disk. Asked once per project when omitted.
--allow-config-edit false Let Studio change plugin options in kubb.config.ts. Asked once per project.
--allow-input false Generate from a spec Studio sends instead of the one on disk. Asked once per project.
--allow-exec false Run the formatter, the linter, and output.postGenerate. Asked once per project.
--no-open Do not open the approval page in a browser.
--log-level=<silent|info|verbose>, -l info Set the verbosity.
--token=<key> snapshot only: organization CI API key. Defaults to KUBB_TOKEN.
--id=<id> snapshot only: stable identity for the CI agent. Auto-detected on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines and CircleCI.
--name=<name> snapshot only: package name for the tarball. Defaults to the name in package.json.
--package-version=<version> snapshot only: package version for the tarball. Defaults to the version in package.json.
--timeout=<seconds> 600 snapshot only: seconds to wait for the job to finish, capped at 3600.
--json false snapshot only: print the result as one JSON object instead of a summary.

Approval is per Studio instance, so pointing --url at a different instance asks for approval again. Without --allow-read, a session still runs a generation and reports which files it produced, but Studio shows no contents for them. Without a permission flag, the CLI asks a yes/no question for each permission and remembers the answers per project directory. It does not ask questions in CI or without a TTY, so unattended runs use only the permissions passed on the command line.

Environment variables

Variable Description
KUBB_HOME Directory the CLI keeps its Studio state in. Defaults to ~/.kubb.
KUBB_AGENT_TOKEN Connect with an existing agent token instead of approving this machine.
KUBB_TOKEN snapshot only: organization CI API key. Same as --token.
