prebuild / prebuild

The upload token works from command line:

$ prebuild -v 
9.1.0
$ prebuild -r napi -u a36078672b2028a70b80f270dafc3266b610f829

but ignored from .prebuildrc:

Is my configuration wrong or something else?

The problem there is that the -u in prebuild -r napi -u is short for --upload and thus overrides the rc value.

So prebuild -r napi should work in this case, but you should be aware that upload=.. in rc currently has a side effect: prebuild takes that as an upload command (i.e. even when you don't want to upload).

Would it make sense to have the token=xxx in rc instead of upload=xxx (as a new option eventually?), so than only token read from rc, without triggering uploads?

Yes, it would! It's been suggested before (#131 (comment)).

A PR is welcome. Not sure if we can do it without a breaking change.

As a new option (token=xxx), why not?

Right, as a new option would not be breaking 👍

I came into a situation that

with .prebuildrc has upload=<some-token>
And prebuild --upload-all , I want to upload all, according to doc

Then rc.upload = token & rc['upload-all'] = true
Then with this code

prebuild/rc.js

Lines 71 to 73 in edb81c4

    
           if (rc['upload-all']) { 
        
             rc.upload = rc['upload-all'] 
        
           }

token value is discard, and set to true.
Then cause

I think we should not mess commands & flags
What I thought

make upload / upload-all as sub commands would be great.

prebuild upload -t <token>
prebuild upload-all -t <token>

And the upload-all operation can not continue from previous abort, may caused by network

Expect behavior:
if exists, output a message, and skip it

.prebuildrc upload token ignored
