## Summary DFX has been superseded by ICP-CLI ([`dfinity/icp-cli`](https://github.com/dfinity/icp-cli), binary `icp`, config `icp.yaml`, v0.2.0 as of March 2026). This PR migrates the entire repository off DFX so that it builds, tests, deploys, and runs locally via `icp` only. Migration guide: https://cli.internetcomputer.org/0.2/migration/from-dfx.md ## Changes **Configuration** - `dfx.json` → `icp.yaml` (YAML manifest format required by icp-cli) - `demos/using-dev-build/dfx.json` → `demos/using-dev-build/icp.yaml` - Version tracking: `.icp-cli-version` file (replaces `"dfx"` field in `dfx.json`) - `dfx.example.json` files → `icp.yaml.example` - `.dfx/` cache directory → `.icp/` in all ignore files **CI Workflows** - Replace `dfinity/setup-dfx` action with `npm install -g @icp-sdk/icp-cli@$(cat .icp-cli-version)` - `canister-tests.yml`: all `dfx` commands → `icp` equivalents - `deploy-rc.yml`: all `dfx` commands → `icp` equivalents - Rename `update-dfx.yml` → `update-icp-cli.yml`, re-point at `dfinity/icp-cli` releases - `DFX_DEPLOY_KEY` local env var → `ICP_DEPLOY_KEY` (still reads `secrets.DFX_DEPLOY_KEY`) **Scripts** - `scripts/build`: metadata key `dfx` → `icp-cli` - `scripts/deploy-archive`: `dfx canister` → `icp canister` - `scripts/deploy-common.bash`: `dfx canister` → `icp canister`, `--network` → `-e` - `scripts/deploy-local-to-beta`, `scripts/deploy-pr-to-beta`: updated references - `scripts/make-upgrade-proposal`: all `dfx` commands → `icp` equivalents - `demos/vc_issuer/provision`: `dfx` → `icp`, `--dfx-network` → `--icp-network` **Source Code** - `src/vite-plugins/src/utils.ts`: `dfx info/canister` → `icp info/canister` - `src/frontend/src/hooks.server.ts`: `dfx canister id` → `icp canister status --id-only` - `demos/using-dev-build/test.ts`: same command updates - `demos/using-dev-build/vite.plugins.ts`: `DFX_NETWORK` → `ICP_NETWORK`, `.dfx/` → `.icp/` - `src/try-ii/src/try-ii-frontend/package.json`: `dfx` → `icp` in npm scripts **Documentation** - `HACKING.md`: all dfx commands → icp-cli equivalents, updated prerequisites - `README.md`: updated config example with array-based canisters format - All demo and stable-memory READMEs updated ## Key command mapping | dfx | icp-cli | |-----|---------| | `dfx start --background` | `icp network start -d` | | `dfx stop` | `icp network stop` | | `dfx deploy` | `icp deploy` | | `dfx build` | `icp build` | | `dfx canister call` | `icp canister call` | | `dfx canister id <name>` | `icp canister status <name> --id-only` | | `dfx canister create --all` | individual `icp canister create <name>` per canister | | `--network ic` | `-e ic` | | `--argument` | `--args` | | `--argument-type` | `--args-format` | | `--argument-file` | `--args-file` | | `--wallet <id>` | `--proxy <id>` | ## Test plan - [ ] CI passes (canister tests, e2e tests, deploy job) - [ ] Local development works: `icp network start -d && icp deploy` - [ ] No remaining active `dfx` references (only historical code comments preserved) --------- Co-authored-by: Tim Aterton <timothyaterton@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
