Setup Commands

Commands for viewing configuration, setting up the development environment, and generating IDE integration scripts.

b2c setup inspect

Display the resolved configuration from all sources, showing which values are set and where they came from. Useful for debugging configuration issues.

Alias: b2c setup config

Usage

bash
b2c setup inspect [FLAGS]

Flags

FlagDescriptionDefault
--unmaskShow sensitive values unmasked (passwords, secrets, API keys)false
--jsonOutput results as JSONfalse

Examples

bash
# Display resolved configuration (sensitive values masked)
b2c setup inspect

# Display configuration with sensitive values unmasked
b2c setup inspect --unmask

# Output as JSON for scripting
b2c setup inspect --json

# Debug configuration with a specific instance
b2c setup inspect -i staging

Output

The command displays configuration organized by category:

  • Instance: hostname, webdavHostname, codeVersion
  • Authentication (Basic): username, password
  • Authentication (OAuth): clientId, clientSecret, scopes, authMethods, accountManagerHost
  • SCAPI: shortCode
  • Managed Runtime (MRT): mrtProject, mrtEnvironment, mrtApiKey, mrtOrigin
  • Metadata: instanceName
  • Sources: List of configuration sources that contributed values

Each value shows its source in brackets (e.g., [dw.json], [SFCC_CLIENT_ID], [~/.mobify]).

Example output:

  2. MobifySource         /Users/user/.mobify
  3. password-store       pass:b2c-cli/_default

Sensitive Values

By default, sensitive fields are masked to prevent accidental exposure:

  • password - Basic auth access key
  • clientSecret - OAuth client secret
  • mrtApiKey - MRT API key

Use --unmask to reveal the actual values when needed for debugging.

b2c setup ide

Show help for IDE integration setup commands.

Usage

bash
b2c setup ide

Examples

bash
# Show setup ide subcommands
b2c setup ide --help

# Generate Prophet integration script
b2c setup ide prophet

b2c setup ide prophet

Generate a dw.js script for the Prophet VS Code extension.

The script runs b2c setup inspect --json --unmask at runtime and maps the resolved configuration into a dw.json-compatible structure that Prophet can consume.

Usage

bash
b2c setup ide prophet [FLAGS]

Flags

FlagDescriptionDefault
--output, -oPath for generated script filedw.js
--force, -fOverwrite output file if it already existsfalse
--jsonOutput results as JSONfalse

Examples

bash
# Generate ./dw.js
b2c setup ide prophet

# Overwrite existing dw.js
b2c setup ide prophet --force

# Generate into .vscode folder
b2c setup ide prophet --output .vscode/dw.js

# Pin generated script to a specific instance context
b2c setup ide prophet --instance staging

Output

The command creates a JavaScript file that:

  1. Executes setup inspect --json --unmask
  2. Reads resolved config values (including plugin-provided sources)
  3. Falls back to loading dw.json from SFCC_CONFIG or the dw.js directory if inspect cannot run
  4. Exports the final object via module.exports = dwJson
  5. Emits Prophet-compatible keys such as:
    • hostname, username, password
    • code-version
    • cartridgesPath, siteID, storefrontPassword (when present)
  6. Logs diagnostics to both stdout and stderr when resolution fails

b2c setup instance list

List all configured B2C Commerce instances from dw.json.

Usage

bash
b2c setup instance list [FLAGS]

Flags

FlagDescriptionDefault
--jsonOutput results as JSONfalse

Examples

bash
# List all configured instances
b2c setup instance list

# Output as JSON
b2c setup instance list --json

Output

The command displays a table of configured instances:

Instances
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Name           Hostname                          Source        Active
production     prod.demandware.net               DwJsonSource
staging        staging.demandware.net            DwJsonSource  ✓
development    dev.demandware.net                DwJsonSource

Usage

bash
b2c setup instance create [NAME] [FLAGS]

Arguments

ArgumentDescriptionRequired
NAMEInstance nameYes (or prompted)

Flags

FlagDescriptionDefault
--hostname, -sB2C instance hostnamePrompted
--usernameWebDAV username
--passwordWebDAV passwordPrompted if username set
--client-idOAuth client ID
--client-secretOAuth client secretPrompted if client-id set
--code-versionCode version
--activeSet as active instancefalse
--forceNon-interactive modefalse
--jsonOutput results as JSONfalse

Examples

bash
# Interactive mode (prompts for all values)
b2c setup instance create staging

# Create with hostname
b2c setup instance create staging --hostname staging.example.com

# Create and set as active
b2c setup instance create staging --hostname staging.example.com --active

# Non-interactive mode (CI/CD)
b2c setup instance create staging --hostname staging.example.com --username admin --password secret --force

Interactive Mode

When run without --force, the command provides an interactive experience:

  1. Prompts for instance name (if not provided)
  2. Prompts for hostname (if not provided)
  3. Prompts for authentication type (Basic, OAuth, Both, or Skip)
  4. Prompts for credentials based on selection
  5. Asks whether to set as active instance
  6. Shows summary and confirms before creating

b2c setup instance remove

Remove a B2C Commerce instance configuration from dw.json.

Usage

bash
b2c setup instance remove NAME [FLAGS]

Arguments

ArgumentDescriptionRequired
NAMEInstance name to removeYes

Flags

FlagDescriptionDefault
--forceSkip confirmation promptfalse
--jsonOutput results as JSONfalse

Examples

bash
# Remove with confirmation
b2c setup instance remove staging

# Remove without confirmation
b2c setup instance remove staging --force

b2c setup instance set-active

Set a B2C Commerce instance as the default (active) instance.

Usage

bash
b2c setup instance set-active NAME [FLAGS]

Arguments

ArgumentDescriptionRequired
NAMEInstance name to set as activeYes

Flags

FlagDescriptionDefault
--jsonOutput results as JSONfalse

Examples

bash
# Set staging as the active instance
b2c setup instance set-active staging

# Set production as active
b2c setup instance set-active production

How Active Instance Works

The active instance is used as the default when no --instance or -i flag is provided to other commands. This allows you to work with multiple instances without specifying which one to use each time.

Example workflow:

bash
# Configure multiple instances
b2c setup instance create staging --hostname staging.example.com
b2c setup instance create production --hostname prod.example.com

# Set staging as active
b2c setup instance set-active staging

# Commands now use staging by default
b2c code list              # Uses staging
b2c code list -i production # Uses production

b2c setup skills

b2c setup skills b2c --version v0.1.0 --ide cursor

# Output as JSON
b2c setup skills b2c --list --json

Interactive Mode

When run without --force, the command provides an interactive experience:

  1. Prompts you to select skill set(s) (if not provided as argument) - you can select both b2c and b2c-cli
  2. Downloads skills from the latest release (or specified version)
  3. Auto-detects installed IDEs
  4. Prompts you to select target IDEs
  5. Shows installation preview
  6. Confirms before installing
  7. Reports results

In non-interactive mode (--force), the skillset argument is required.

Claude Code Recommendation

For Claude Code users, we recommend using the plugin marketplace for automatic updates:

bash
claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin install b2c-cli
claude plugin install b2c

The marketplace provides:

  • Automatic updates when new versions are released
  • Centralized plugin management
  • Version tracking

Use --ide manual if you prefer manual installation to the same paths.

Skill Sets

Skill SetDescription
b2cB2C Commerce development patterns and practices
b2c-cliB2C CLI commands and operations

Output

When installing, the command reports:

  • Successfully installed skills with paths
  • Skipped skills (already exist, use --update to overwrite)
  • Errors encountered during installation

Example output:

Downloading skills from release latest...
Detecting installed IDEs...
Installing 12 skills to Cursor (project)

Successfully installed 12 skill(s):
  - b2c-code → .cursor/skills/b2c-code/
  - b2c-webdav → .cursor/skills/b2c-webdav/
  ...

Environment

Skills are downloaded from the GitHub releases of the b2c-developer-tooling repository:

ArtifactContents
