All requirements from the plan have been successfully implemented and tested.
-
Package Configuration (
package.json,tsconfig.json)- ES modules with
"type": "module" - Node.js >= 22.18.0 target (native TypeScript support)
- Single runtime dependency:
@camunda8/orchestration-cluster-api@^8.8.3 - Test scripts using native Node.js test runner
- CLI bin entries:
c8ctlandc8aliases prepublishOnlyhook ensures build runs before publishing (not on install)
- ES modules with
-
Logger Component (
src/logger.ts)- Text and JSON output modes
- Methods:
info(),success(),error(),table(),json() - Prominent display of process instance keys
- Singleton pattern for global access
- Tests: 19 unit tests covering all output modes and formatting
-
Configuration System (
src/config.ts)- Platform-specific user data directories (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- Profile storage in
profiles.json - Session state in
session.json - Credential resolution: profile flag → session → env vars → localhost
- Tenant resolution: session → profile → env var →
<default> - Tests: 27 unit tests covering all resolution paths
-
SDK Client Factory (
src/client.ts)- Creates
CamundaClientwith resolved configuration - Handles OAuth and basic auth
- Integrates with profile and session systems
- Creates
-
Command Handlers (
src/commands/)- Process Instances (
process-instances.ts): list, get, create, cancel - User Tasks (
user-tasks.ts): list, complete - Incidents (
incidents.ts): list, resolve - Jobs (
jobs.ts): list, activate, complete, fail - Messages (
messages.ts): publish, correlate - Topology (
topology.ts): get cluster topology - Deployments (
deployments.ts): deploy with_bb-folder prioritization, duplicate ID validation, results table with file paths, building block indicators (🧱), and process application indicators (📦 for folders with.process-applicationfile) - Run (
run.ts): deploy + create process instance - Profiles (
profiles.ts): list, add, remove - Session (
session.ts): use profile/tenant, output format - Help (
help.ts): version, help, verb-only resource hints
- Process Instances (
-
Deployment Validation
- Detects duplicate process/decision IDs across BPMN/DMN files
- Prevents
INVALID_ARGUMENTerrors from Camunda API - Provides clear error messages with file paths for duplicates
- Note: Camunda does not allow deploying multiple resources with the same definition ID in a single deployment
-
CLI Entry Point (
src/index.ts)- Command routing with
parseArgs - Resource alias support (pi, ut, inc, msg)
- Global flags:
--profile,--version,--help - Verb-only invocations show available resources
- Command routing with
- Config Module (27 tests): Profile management, session state, resolution logic
- Logger Module (19 tests): Output modes, formatting, table generation
- Help Module (10 tests): Version, help text, resource hints
- BPMN Parser (8 tests): Process ID extraction from BPMN files
- Deploy Traversal (7 tests): Building block prioritization logic
- Profile management: Add, list, remove persistence
- Session management: Profile, tenant, output mode persistence
- Topology, Deploy, Process Instances, Run: Stubbed (require live Camunda)
simple.bpmn: Basic process for testing_bb-building-block/bb-process.bpmn: Building block examplesample-project/: Nested folder structure for traversal testing
