Error codes

CLI_USAGE

The command line is not valid.

Exit code: 2 · Who acts: You: correct the request or the environment · From: the CLI only

What it means

The command line is not valid.

Common causes

  • A flag is unknown or missing, or flags that exclude each other were given together.

Fix it

  1. See the command's usage: capxul <command> --help, or capxul schema <command>.

In JSON and the SDK

With --json, the CLI prints:

{
  "outcome": "refused",
  "error": {
    "code": "CLI_USAGE",
    "message": "…"
  }
}

Only the CLI answers with this code. The SDK never returns it. Branch on the code, not on the message: the message is written for people and can change.

Commands that can answer with it

Every command can answer with this code.
