feat!: piping a prisma command gives its plain data; JSON needs --json by wmadden-electric · Pull Request #353 · prisma/prisma-cli

wmadden-electric · 2026-10-15T15:09:38Z

At a glance

$ prisma project list | head -2
shop	proj_cm3x…	us-east-1
blog	proj_k91…	eu-central-1
$ id=$(prisma project create shop-staging)
$ prisma project list --json | jq '.envelope.result.items[].id'

Before this PR, piping a prisma command always produced a JSON frame such as {"kind":"result","envelope":{"ok":true,"result":{…}}}. So $(prisma …) captured JSON, and | grep searched JSON.

What this PR changes

The output format depends only on flags, never on whether stdout is a terminal. With no flag, a pipe gets the command's plain data. JSON needs --json or --format json.
Every command in this repo defines what its plain data is, following new rules in the product docs.
A test fails if a command puts nothing on stdout without saying why.
@prisma/cli-engine goes from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0, because the output contract changes.

Why

No CLI we compared switches to JSON when piped. gh, aws, kubectl, gcloud, az, docker and supabase all need a flag for JSON. A command whose job is one value prints it bare, piped or not, as with docker port and encore db conn-uri.

Our rule broke the obvious case. Composer is adding prisma dev url <service>, which prints a local service's URL, and with this rule curl "$(prisma dev url gateway)" passed curl a JSON frame. The product docs never required the switch; they said only that stdout carries data and stays machine-readable. The switch was a choice made when the engine was first written.

How output is split today

A command describes its output in three parts:

human blocks, the formatted card, which go to stderr;
data lines, which go to stdout;
a JSON result, used with --json.

When stdout and stderr are the same terminal, the data lines are skipped, because the card already shows the same values.

What changes in the engine

Before, a piped stdout selected the JSON format. Now the format is human unless a flag says otherwise, so a pipe gets the data lines. Also:

In a pipe without --json, an error is a human error on stderr, with the same exit code.
--help writes its help card to stdout, and --version writes the bare version.
--format markdown and the same-terminal rule are unchanged.

What each command prints

docs/product/output-conventions.md gains a "Data Lines" section, written before the code:

A list: one line per item, with tab-separated fields in the human table's column order. Empty fields stay in place, so columns can be read by position.
A show: key<TAB>value lines. An absent field is left out, and booleans are true or false.
One value: the bare value. For example, project create prints the new id, auth workspace use prints the workspace id, and service domain wait prints the live URL.
Credentials used together: dotenv lines (NAME=value).
Nothing to report (logout, delete, most changes): stdout stays empty, and the exit code says whether it worked. Such commands use noDataLines(reason), a new engine export, so the reason sits next to the output definition.

The check

packages/cli/tests/data-lines.test.ts parses packages/cli/src and packages/cli-engine/src with the TypeScript compiler. It fails on any stdout definition that can return an empty list unless it uses noDataLines. It recognises the ways that can be written, and a probe test pins each one. It caught one real case, project env add.

Agents, scripts and versioning

Agents and scripts: the platform skill, the engine README and the product docs now say to use --json for machine-readable output. The e2e harness already passes --json.
Versioning: engine changes ship with pnpm bump-cli-engine-version. This is a minor bump because the output contract changes. Composer's and the ORM's command families still require engine 0.7.0, so the version-mismatch exceptions in packages/cli/scripts/conformance.ts move to 0.7.0 vs 0.9.0.
Follow-ups elsewhere: commands from the Composer and ORM families don't define data lines yet, so for now they print nothing to a pipe. These are Composer's prisma deploy and about 20 ORM commands, including migration list. They're recorded for those repos.

Tests

packages/cli-engine/tests/piped-output.test.ts:
- A pipe gets data lines and no JSON.
- --json gives one result frame.
- A piped error is human, on stderr, with the right exit code.
- An unknown command.
- A piped --help and --version.
Data-line assertions for every command whose output changed.
The data-lines check, with a probe for each form it detects.
pnpm --filter @prisma/cli-engine test, pnpm --filter @prisma/cli test, pnpm typecheck, pnpm check:conformance, the engine version check, check:grammar, check:skill-packaging, and Biome.
The e2e suite runs in CI; it wasn't run locally.

Alternatives considered

An exception only for one-value commands such as prisma dev url. Smaller, but every other command would still print JSON to a pipe, which surprises anyone used to other CLIs.
A --format value flag, like gcloud's --format="value(field)". Every script would have to remember it, and a bare $(prisma …) would still capture JSON.
Keep JSON in pipes and document jq. The docs did this before: curl "$(prisma dev url gateway | jq -er 'select(.kind=="result").envelope.result.url')". That line is what this PR removes.
Put the id first in every list. Lists already printed the human table's columns, mostly name first, as gh does, and the docs already fixed auth workspace list's order.

The output format no longer depends on where stdout goes. A pipe gets human output: the human blocks on stderr and the command's plain data lines on stdout. The new Data Lines section says what those lines are for a list, a show, a one-value result and a command with no data.

…ds --json With no format flag the engine chose json whenever stdout was not a terminal. It now always chooses human: stdout carries the command's data lines and the human blocks go to stderr, and JSON needs --json or --format json. Errors in a pipe are human errors on stderr with the same exit code. Help in a pipe goes to stdout, like any human output. Tests that read JSON frames without asking for them now pass --json. BREAKING CHANGE: a host or script that relied on piped output being JSON must pass --json.

A pipe now gets each command's data lines instead of JSON, and about half the presentations wrote none, so they would print nothing. - Created resources print their id: project create and link, bucket create, service create, project env add. - service domain wait prints the live URL; service domain add prints the DNS records to create, one per line. - service show, service version show and service domain show print key<TAB>value lines; service version list prints one line per version. Writing env variables from a file prints them like env list. - Show commands that printed 'label: value' now print 'label<TAB>value'. - Commands with no data (deletes, logout, promote, rollback, start, stop, rename, transfer, git connect and disconnect, restore, init, feedback) write stdout: noDataLines(reason). A new test fails when a presentation writes an empty stdout without noDataLines and a reason. The product doc's list rule now matches what the lists already print: the human table's columns, tab-separated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Piped CLI output now defaults to human mode, with command data printed as plain lines. Use --json or an explicit format flag for structured output.
- Commands that return data now provide consistent, tab-separated output, including IDs, status details, and service and domain information.
- Failure messages go to stderr with the appropriate exit code, regardless of whether output is displayed in a terminal or redirected.
Documentation
- Updated CLI guidance to explain output formats, data lines, and error behavior.

Walkthrough

The CLI now uses human output by default for terminal and non-terminal stdout. JSON and Markdown require explicit format selection. Commands use tab-separated fields, bare values, or no stdout data according to their output type. Human-facing status and errors are written to stderr. Tests and documentation now describe and verify these output rules.

⚠️ Action not completed

Pull request base or head changed.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

Its one finding (document the piped --help exception) was fixed in aebce7c, and CodeRabbit confirmed the fix in the thread.

…rints plain data lines unless you pass --json (prisma#30835) ```console $ prisma migration list | cut -f2 20260101T0000_initial 20260201T0000_add_labels $ prisma migration list --json | jq '.envelope.result.spaces[].migrations[].name' "20260101T0000_initial" "20260201T0000_add_labels" ``` The ORM's commands now run on `@prisma/cli-engine` 0.9.0, the engine the `prisma` CLI 8.0.0-rc.25 ships. Under that engine a piped command prints plain data lines on stdout, and JSON needs `--json`. Each ORM command now says what its data lines are, or why it prints none. ## Why The `prisma` CLI moved to engine 0.9.0 in rc.25, but the ORM toolchain still pinned and peered 0.7.0. The CLI's conformance check carries that mismatch as an allowed exception, and Composer cannot move its own CLI to rc.25 at all: its workspace forces engine 0.7.0, and the rc.25 CLI crashes on that engine. Moving the ORM to 0.9.0 lets the next ORM release, then Composer and the CLI, drop their 0.7.0 pins. ## What changes 1. **Pins.** All 28 `@prisma/cli-engine` pins and peers move from 0.7.0 to 0.9.0, including the `@prisma/orm-toolchain` peer. The lockfile resolves one engine copy. 2. **Data lines.** Engine 0.9.0 (prisma/prisma-cli#353) decides the output format from flags only. A piped run gets the human card on stderr and the command's data lines on stdout. Data lines are a stable interface: fields are tab-separated in a documented order, a null or absent value is an empty field, a backslash, tab, newline or carriage return inside a value is escaped as `\\`, `\t`, `\n` or `\r`, paths are relative to the working directory, and new fields are only appended. `src/orm/data-lines.ts` builds them with `dataLine` and `fieldLines` (the name prisma-cli uses for the same helper): - `migration list`, `status`, `log` and `graph` print one tab-separated line per migration (`migration list`: space, name, from-contract, to-contract, operation count; `migration status` adds the status as a sixth field). `graph --dot` still prints DOT. - `migration show` prints `key<TAB>value` lines, then one line per operation. - `migration check` prints one line per failure. - `migration new`, `migration plan` and `orm init` print the paths they wrote, each once. `contract emit`, `contract infer` and `contract format` print the paths they wrote. - `ref list` prints one line per ref. `ref set` prints the hash the ref now names. - `db migrate` prints the migrations it applied, or with `--show` the ones it would apply. A first migration's from field is empty, as in `migration list`. - `db sign` prints one line per space: space, status, contract storage hash. - `ref delete`, `db init`, `db update`, `db verify` and `db schema` print nothing on stdout and say why with `noDataLines`. 3. **A check.** `test/orm/command-stdout.test.ts` fails if an ORM command declares an empty data-line list instead of `noDataLines`, and fails if it reads no command sources. 4. **Tests, journeys and scripts that read JSON from a piped run** now pass `--json`, including `scripts/regen-example-migrations.mjs`. 5. **Docs.** The CLI README gets a "Piped output" table and states the stable-interface rules. The output rules in `docs/CLI Style Guide.md` now describe the engine model. ADRs 227 and 228, the Postgres extension README, the `prisma7-adoption` example README and the migration review skill reference follow. 6. **Upgrade instructions.** `upgrade-instructions/pending/cli-engine-0-9-piped-output/` declares two changes for apps and extension authors: move an engine pin to 0.9.0, and pass `--json` where a script or test reads JSON from a piped ORM command. The pin change detects any engine version or range below 0.9; the `--json` change has no detection, so every project sees it. Command groups with subcommands (prisma/prisma-cli#349) needed no ORM change. ## Breaking A script, CI step or agent that parsed JSON from a piped ORM command must add `--json`. The upgrade instructions show this change to every project, because such readers live in shell scripts, CI steps and code as well as `package.json`. ## Checks run locally - `pnpm build`, `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint:deps`, `pnpm lint:ratchets`, `pnpm fixtures:check` and `pnpm check:upgrade-coverage --mode pr` pass. - CLI package: 2,175 tests pass; coverage passes in `@internal/cli` and config-loader. - Integration files for every command whose output changed, run one by one, pass. - `pnpm test:packages`: 26,645 tests pass; 3 tarball install tests fail locally because pnpm rejects `@vercel/detect-agent` 1.2.7 as a "trust downgrade". This branch does not touch that dependency; CI shows whether it fails there too. ## Alternatives considered - **Keep the ORM on engine 0.7.0.** The CLI and Composer would keep carrying the mismatch, and Composer could not run any CLI after rc.24. - **Declare `noDataLines` for every command.** Smaller, but a piped `migration list` would print nothing, which makes the commands useless in scripts without `--json`.
