* fix(cli): separate unit tests from integration tests and fix test cleanup - Rename 14 non-backend test files to *_unit.test.ts convention - Add UNIT_ONLY env var guard in setup.ts to skip cargo build/backend startup - Add test:unit and test:integration scripts to package.json - Use setsid on Linux for process group management so stop() kills both cargo and the windmill child process - Fix exit handler to kill process group instead of just the direct child - Add cleanupStaleTestResources() to drop orphaned windmill_test_* databases and kill orphaned backend processes on startup - Rewrite TESTING.md with current bun-based instructions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(cli): fix process group approach - kill by db name instead of setsid The setsid approach didn't work because setsid forks, making the PID we get from Bun.spawn ephemeral. Instead, kill orphaned windmill child processes by matching our unique database name in /proc/pid/environ. Also add afterAll hook in setup.ts so full async cleanup (process kill + database drop) runs when all tests complete normally, not just on SIGINT/SIGTERM. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(cli): address PR review feedback - Remove duplicate cleanupStaleTestResources() call in getTestBackend() (already called in setup.ts) - Add regex guard on database names before SQL interpolation - Extract shared killWindmillProcessesByEnvMatch() helper to deduplicate process-killing logic - Remove redundant test:integration script (test already runs everything) - Flip setup.ts to if/else pattern for readability Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
