minitest-cli

Command-line interface for the Minitest testing platform for mobile and web apps.

Installation

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.example to .env — the CLI loads .env automatically. The shipped .env.example already 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.

Development

# Install dependencies
uv sync --dev

# Run linter
uv run ruff check .

# Run formatter
uv run ruff format .

# Run type checker
uv run pyright

# Run tests
uv run pytest
