Agent Initialization & Session ID

Before running the build scan and tests, you must initialize the agent with the token to use and create a session ID.

Initializing the SeaLights CLI

./slcli config init --lang go --token ./sltoken.txt

Generating a session ID

The Build Session uniquely identifies your application's build and associates any coverage (i.e., all test stages and tests) with that specific build. The session ID is provided for each step and command to link them together as one complete cycle.

./slcli config create-bsid --app <your-app-name> --branch <your-branch-name> --build <your-build-number>

Each time the command runs, the app/branch/build trio must be unique to create a new entry in your SeaLights instance. Usually, only buildname changes—make sure to generate a unique one each time. For that purpose, you can use a timestamp, e.g., --build $(date +"%y%m%d_%H%M") (Linux/macOS).
