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
b2c setup inspect [FLAGS]Flags
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--unmask | Show sensitive values unmasked (passwords, secrets, API keys) | false |
--json | Output results as JSON | false |
Examples
# 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 stagingOutput
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:

b2c setup ide
Show help for IDE integration setup commands.
Usage
b2c setup ideExamples
# Show setup ide subcommands
b2c setup ide --help
# Generate Prophet integration script
b2c setup ide prophetb2c 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
b2c setup ide prophet [FLAGS]Flags
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--output, -o | Path for generated script file | dw.js |
--force, -f | Overwrite output file if it already exists | false |
--json | Output results as JSON | false |
Examples
# 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 stagingOutput
The command creates a JavaScript file that:
- Executes
setup inspect --json --unmask - Reads resolved config values (including plugin-provided sources)
- Falls back to loading
dw.jsonfromSFCC_CONFIGor thedw.jsdirectory if inspect cannot run - Exports the final object via
module.exports = dwJson - Emits Prophet-compatible keys such as:
hostname,username,passwordcode-versioncartridgesPath,siteID,storefrontPassword(when present)
- Logs diagnostics to both stdout and stderr when resolution fails
b2c setup instance list
List all configured B2C Commerce instances from dw.json.
Usage
b2c setup instance list [FLAGS]Flags
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--json | Output results as JSON | false |
Examples
# List all configured instances
b2c setup instance list
# Output as JSON
b2c setup instance list --jsonOutput
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 DwJsonSourceb2c setup instance create
Create a new B2C Commerce instance configuration in dw.json.
Usage
b2c setup instance create [NAME] [FLAGS]Arguments
| Argument | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
NAME | Instance name | Yes (or prompted) |
Flags
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--hostname, -s | B2C instance hostname | Prompted |
--username | WebDAV username | |
--password | WebDAV password | Prompted if username set |
--client-id | OAuth client ID | |
--client-secret | OAuth client secret | Prompted if client-id set |
--code-version | Code version | |
--active | Set as active instance | false |
--force | Non-interactive mode | false |
--json | Output results as JSON | false |
Examples
# 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 --forceInteractive Mode
When run without --force, the command provides an interactive experience:
- Prompts for instance name (if not provided)
- Prompts for hostname (if not provided)
- Prompts for authentication type (Basic, OAuth, Both, or Skip)
- Prompts for credentials based on selection
- Asks whether to set as active instance
- Shows summary and confirms before creating
b2c setup instance remove
Remove a B2C Commerce instance configuration from dw.json.
Usage
b2c setup instance remove NAME [FLAGS]Arguments
| Argument | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
NAME | Instance name to remove | Yes |
Flags
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--force | Skip confirmation prompt | false |
--json | Output results as JSON | false |
Examples
# Remove with confirmation
b2c setup instance remove staging
# Remove without confirmation
b2c setup instance remove staging --forceb2c setup instance set-active
Set a B2C Commerce instance as the default (active) instance.
Usage
b2c setup instance set-active NAME [FLAGS]Arguments
| Argument | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
NAME | Instance name to set as active | Yes |
Flags
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--json | Output results as JSON | false |
Examples
# Set staging as the active instance
b2c setup instance set-active staging
# Set production as active
b2c setup instance set-active productionHow 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:
# 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 productionb2c setup skills

Claude Code Recommendation
For Claude Code users, we recommend using the plugin marketplace for automatic updates:
claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin install b2c-cli
claude plugin install b2cThe 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.
