Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with
The output of cf push --help
indicates that APP_NAME is a required argument:
$ cf --version
cf version 8.0.0+e8d41cf8e.2021-09-16
$ cf push --help
NAME:
push - Push a new app or sync changes to an existing app
USAGE:
cf push APP_NAME [-b BUILDPACK_NAME]
[-c COMMAND] [-f MANIFEST_PATH | --no-manifest] [--no-start] [--no-wait] [-i NUM_INSTANCES]
[-k DISK] [-m MEMORY] [-p PATH] [-s STACK] [-t HEALTH_TIMEOUT] [--task TASK]
[-u (process | port | http)] [--no-route | --random-route]
[--var KEY=VALUE] [--vars-file VARS_FILE_PATH]...
cf push APP_NAME --docker-image [REGISTRY_HOST:PORT/]IMAGE[:TAG] [--docker-username USERNAME]
[-c COMMAND] [-f MANIFEST_PATH | --no-manifest] [--no-start] [--no-wait] [-i NUM_INSTANCES]
[-k DISK] [-m MEMORY] [-p PATH] [-s STACK] [-t HEALTH_TIMEOUT] [--task TASK]
[-u (process | port | http)] [--no-route | --random-route ]
[--var KEY=VALUE] [--vars-file VARS_FILE_PATH]...
This is confusing: I coded my automation around the fact that I have to give the APP_NAME instead of it being taken from the manifest.
I then tried to leave out the APP_NAME
while pushing my manifest and it worked perfectly.
I would propose to update the help to indicate that APP_NAME
is not mandatory.
