Standardized CLI Parameters Migration

Why This Matters

SeaLights CLI parameters are now standardized across all technologies to make configuration:

• Consistent – same parameter = same meaning everywhere
• Simple – easier to learn and remember
• Scalable – seamless across multi-tech environments

---

What’s Changing

All CLI parameters now follow:

• Prefix: --
• Format: lower camel case

Examples

Before	After
-buildsessionid	--buildSessionId
-appname	--appName
-branch	--branchName
-build	--buildName
-workspacePath / -binDir	--scanDir
-loglevel	--logLevel
-failonerror	--failOnError

---

Good News: No Breaking Changes

• Existing parameters still work (supported as aliases)
• Migration can be gradual
• No immediate action required

---

Recommended Migration (3 Steps)

1

Identify

Find where SeaLights CLI is used:

• CI/CD pipelines
• Build scripts
• Test runners

2

Replace

Update to standardized parameters:

--buildSessionId
--appName
--branchName
--buildName
--scanDir

3

Validate

After updates, confirm:

• Builds complete successfully
• Coverage is reported
• Test stages are visible

---

Best Practice

• Use only standardized parameters for all new implementations
• Keep naming consistent across all technologies

---

When Are You Done?

You’re fully migrated when:

• All pipelines use standardized parameters
• No legacy naming remains
• Same CLI structure across all tech stacks
