minitest-cli
Command-line interface for the Minitest testing platform for mobile and web apps.
Installation
One-liner (recommended)
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minitap-ai/minitest-cli/main/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minitap-ai/minitest-cli/main/install.ps1 | iex"
Both scripts use uv if available, or install it automatically.
Other methods
uv (all platforms):
uv tool install minitest-cli
Homebrew (macOS):
brew install minitap-ai/tap/minitest-cli
uvx (zero-install, all platforms):
uvx --from minitest-cli minitest --help
From source:
git clone https://github.com/minitap-ai/minitest-cli.git
cd minitest-cli
uv sync
uv run minitest --help
Quick Start
# Authenticate
minitest auth login
# List your apps
minitest apps list
# Inspect one app's full configuration
minitest apps get <app-id>
# Create a new app on your tenant
minitest apps create --name "My Mobile App" --platform ios --platform android
# Or create a web app target
minitest apps create --name "My Web App" --platform web --web-url https://example.com
# Upload native builds when testing iOS/Android apps
minitest --app <app-id> build upload ./app-release.apk
# Android App Bundle archives (.apks) are also accepted
minitest --app <app-id> build upload ./app-release.apks
# Run tests
minitest --app <app-id> run all --web
# or, for native lanes:
minitest --app <app-id> run all --ios-build <ios-build-id> --android-build <android-build-id>
Configuration
| Environment Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
MINITEST_TOKEN |
API authentication token | Yes (or use minitest auth login) |
MINITEST_APP_ID |
Default app ID | No (can use --app flag) |
MINITEST_API_URL |
testing-service base URL | No (defaults to production) |
MINITEST_APPS_MANAGER_URL |
apps-manager base URL (used by minitest apps create) |
No (defaults to production) |
MINITEST_INTEGRATIONS_URL |
minihands-integrations base URL (used to list tenants) | No (defaults to production) |
MINITEST_WEBAPP_URL |
Minitest webapp base URL (used for review links) | No (defaults to production) |
MINITEST_SUPABASE_URL |
Supabase project URL used for OAuth login | No (defaults to production) |
MINITEST_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY |
Supabase publishable (anon) key used for OAuth login | No (defaults to production) |
The recommended way to set these is to copy
.env.exampleto.env— the CLI loads.envautomatically. The shipped.env.examplealready targets the dev environment (see below).
Global Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--json |
Output JSON to stdout (diagnostics go to stderr) |
--app <id-or-name> |
Target app for commands that require one |
--version |
Show CLI version |
--help |
Show help |
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
minitest auth |
Authentication management |
minitest apps |
List, inspect, and create apps |
minitest user-story |
User-story operations |
minitest df |
Draft features — branches of the test suite |
minitest flow-types |
List flow types, create/rename/delete custom ones |
minitest screens |
Inspect the screens exploration mapped for an app |
minitest build |
Native iOS/Android build management |
minitest run |
Test execution for mobile and web lanes |
minitest maintenance |
CLI-only test-flow maintenance against local code |
CLI-only maintenance
minitest maintenance lets a coding agent keep Minitest user stories in sync
without connecting GitHub. Run it from the app repository: the code stays on the
machine, while the CLI sends only proposed test-flow edits and the local HEAD SHA.
# Print the server-composed maintenance instructions for your coding agent
minitest maintenance --agent
# Agent workflow primitives
minitest --json maintenance context
minitest maintenance affected --file affected.json
minitest maintenance change --file change.json
minitest maintenance status --phase writing --message "Updating affected stories"
minitest maintenance complete --changed
# Apply proposed edits now, or open the web review queue
minitest maintenance apply
minitest maintenance apply --review
Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Success |
| 1 | General error |
| 2 | Authentication error |
| 3 | Network / API error |
| 4 | Resource not found |
| 5 | Build rejected as invalid |
| 6 | Conflict — re-read, rebuild, retry once |
Using the Dev Environment
The shipped .env.example already targets the dev environment, so pointing the CLI at dev is just a matter of loading it. Copy it to .env once:
cp .env.example .env
The CLI loads .env automatically, so every command now runs against dev — no per-command environment variables needed:
minitest auth login # authenticates against dev, stores a dev-specific token
minitest apps list # runs against dev
To target production instead, either omit the .env file (the built-in defaults point at production) or comment out the dev values and uncomment the # Production lines in your .env.
Tip: You can still override any single variable inline for a one-off command, e.g.
MINITEST_API_URL=https://testing-service.dev.minitap.ai minitest apps list.
