Description Corey Welton 2012-03-29 18:03:03 UTC

Virtually every binary out there has a way to return version #, usually via -v and/or --version. Even 'ls'.  And 'yes'.

[cwelton@huajiao ~]$ yes --version
yes (GNU coreutils) 8.12

That we cannot appear to do the same via the CLI in katello cli seems like a small, but significant, oversight.


Current results:

# katello --version
katello: error: no such option: --version

# katello -v
katello: error: no such option: -v

# katello version
katello: error: Invalid command; please see --help

Expected results:
Something like

* katello --version

katello version 0.1.303-1.el6

Comment 1 Partha Aji 2012-04-10 18:53:25 UTC

So after some discussions it was decided
katello -u <> -p <> --version
katello -u <> -p <> -v
katello -u <> -p <> version

 will use a new api call to figure out there server version and report it to the user.

Comment 3 Sachin Ghai 2012-05-15 05:54:48 UTC

Verified with following katello build:

[root@perceptor ~]# rpm -qa | grep -ie katello-cli-0 -ie katello-0
katello-cli-0.2.33-1.el6.noarch
katello-0.2.35-1.el6.noarch

As per comment 5, katello version correctly displayed with following:

[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin --version
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin -v
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin version
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin --ver
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin --v
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6


Will test it against latest CFSE build too.
