Triggering a run from CI

Automatically triggering a run

Each time you upload a new build of your app to Waldo, a run of all your
currently enabled test flows is triggered automatically.

A run of this kind is tagged as auto.

Manually triggering a run

You can also manually trigger a run of all your currently enabled test flows
from the Waldo web app. Clicking on the + button drops down a menu containing
a Run Tests item for you to select.

A run of this kind is tagged as manual.

CI-triggered runs

Lastly, you can trigger a run of of one or more test flows for your app with
Waldo CLI. (See [README.md][readme] for installation instructions.) This is
convenient when you want to trigger a run via CI. Simply add the following to
your CI script:

$ waldo trigger --upload_token 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef

Important: Make sure you replace the fake upload token value shown above
with the real value for your Waldo app.

You can also use an environment variable to provide the upload token to Waldo
CLI:

$ export WALDO_UPLOAD_TOKEN=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
$ waldo trigger

A run of this kind is tagged as ci-trigger.

Advanced Usage

Whereas only the upload token is required to successfully trigger a run on
Waldo, there are a couple other non-required options recognized by Waldo CLI
that you may find useful:

• --rule_name <value> — This option instructs Waldo CLI to only run the test
  flows permitted by the named rule.
• --verbose — If you specify this option, Waldo CLI prints additional debug
  information. This can shed more light on why your trigger reqeuest is
  failing.
