* fix: CLI falls back to workspace whoami when global whoami is 401
Workspace-scoped tokens (token.workspace_id set) cannot call
/api/users/whoami — the backend's token lookup filters by workspace_id
which is NULL on global paths, so auth returns 401 before the handler
runs. This breaks the CLI entirely: requireLogin calls globalWhoami at
the start of every command, so no command works with a
workspace-scoped token, not even `wmill workspace whoami`.
Fix it CLI-side: if the global whoami returns 401, fall back to the
workspace-scoped /api/w/{w}/users/whoami using the workspace already
known from the CLI profile, and adapt the response shape to
GlobalUserInfo. Also drop the redundant second globalWhoami call in
`wmill workspace whoami` — use requireLogin's return value instead.
No backend changes: the workspace_id binding on the token stays
strictly enforced for every global endpoint.

* fix: use name-based ApiError check in whoami fallback
Review feedback from PR #8789: `instanceof ApiError` can silently
return false when bundling produces multiple module instances of
`gen/core/ApiError.ts` (bun build for npm, JSR dev path), which would
skip the workspace-whoami fallback and reintroduce the exact bug this
PR fixes. Match the name-based check already used at
`cli/src/main.ts:232` and drop the `ApiError` import.
Also add a comment on `workspaceUserToGlobalUserInfo` listing the
fields that aren't derivable from the workspace-scoped User response
and are filled with placeholder values, so future callers don't trust
them downstream.

Windmill CLI
A simple CLI allowing interactions with windmill from the command line.
You can find more information in Windmill Docs
Installation
Install the wmill CLI tool using npm install -g windmill-cli.
Update to the latest version using wmill upgrade.
Workspaces
To get started run wmill workspace add or use the instructions from the
workspace settings.
Running Flows & Scripts
Run a script or flow using wmill flow/script run u/username/path/to/script and
pass any inputs using --data + Inputs specified as a JSON string or a file
using @ <filename> or stdin using @-.
Curl-style syntax using -d @- for stdin or -d @<filename> is also supported.
Flow Steps and Logs will be streamed during execution automatically.
Pushing Resources, Scripts & More
The CLI can push specifications to a windmill instance. See the examples/ folder for formats.
Switch to a different workspace
wmill workspace switch <workspace_name>
Sync a workspace
Pull
wmill sync pull
Push
wmill sync push
We recommend using the --yaml option to use yaml instead of json as the encoding format. Yaml will be made the default soon.
Pushing individual files
You can push individual resources using
wmill <type> push <file_name> \<remote_name\>. This does not require a special
folder layout or file name, as this is given at runtime.
Listing
All commands support listing by just not providing a subcommand, ie
wmill script will result in a list of scripts. Some allow additional options,
learn about this by specifying --help.
User Management
You can add & remove users via wmill user add/remove, and list them using
wmill user
Pulling
You can pull the entire workspace using wmill pull
Completion
The CLI comes with completions out of the box via wmill completions <shell>.
(Via cliffy)
Bash
To enable bash completions add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:
source <(wmill completions bash)
Fish
To enable fish completions add the following line to your
~/.config/fish/config.fish:
source (wmill completions fish | psub)
Zsh
To enable zsh completions add the following line to your ~/.zshrc:
source <(wmill completions zsh)
Development
Testing with a local windmill-yaml-validator
To test local changes to the validator before publishing, use npm link:
# In windmill-yaml-validator/
npm run build
npm link
# In cli/
npm link windmill-yaml-validator
