Syntax

ern publish-container

Options

--containerPath

• The local file system path to the directory containing the Container to publish.

• Default If this option is not provided, the command will look for a Container in the default platform directory ~/.ern/containergen/out/[platform].

--platform

• Specify the native platform of the target Container to publish (android or ios)

• This option is required, there is no default.

--version/-v

• Specify the Container version to use for publication.

• The version must be in the format: x.y.z where x, y and z are integers. For example version=1.2.30.

• Defaults to 1.0.0.

--publisher/-p

• Specify the Container publisher to use.

• This option is required, there is no default.

• You can also use a local file system path to a Container publisher package (only used for developing custom publishers)

--url/-u

• The url to publish the Container to

• Some publishers might not need an url. Check the specific Container publisher documentation for reference

--extra/-e

• Extra configuration specific to the publisher used.

• Some publishers might not need an extra configuration. Check the Container publisher documentation for reference.

• There is three different ways to provide the json extra configuration :

  • As a json string

    For example --extra '{"configKey": "configValue"}'

  • As a file path

    For example --extra /Users/username/my-publisher-config.json

    In that case, the configuration will be read from the file.

  • As a Cauldron file path

    For example --extra cauldron://config/publishers/my-publisher-config.json

    In that case, the configuration will be read from the file stored in Cauldron.

    For this way to work, the file must exist in Cauldron (you can add a file to the cauldron by using the ern cauldron add file command).
