State Discovery and Display

This is like git fetch.

This kind of command is intended for state discovery that is expensive – takes more than 500 milliseconds.

Suitable scopes for this command are:

  • SingleProfileSingleFlow: For discovering state for one profile.
  • MultiProfileSingleFlow: For discovering state for multiple profiles.

Command Creation

To create this command:

  1. When building the command context:

    • Provide the profile.
    • Provide the flow ID.

  2. Call the StatesDiscoverCmd depending on the intended use:

    These will store the discovered states under the corresponding $profile/$flow_id directory as states_current.yaml or states_goal.yaml.

  3. If the discovered states are to be displayed, call the relevant state display command(s):

    • StatesCurrentStoredDisplayCmd: For stored current states to be displayed.
    • StatesGoalDisplayCmd: For goal states to be displayed.
