aspire secret path command

Name

aspire secret path - Show the secrets file path.

Synopsis

Aspire CLI

aspire secret path [options]

Description

The aspire secret path command displays the full file path to the user secrets file for an Aspire AppHost. This is useful when you need to directly inspect or edit the secrets file, or when troubleshooting secrets resolution.

The Aspire CLI uses the following logic, in order, to determine which AppHost project to process:

• The --project option.

  This option specifies the path to a project to process.

• The .aspire/settings.json config file.

  If the config file path exists in the current directory, it’s used. If not, the CLI walks up the directory structure looking for the config file. If it finds a config file, it reads the appHostPath setting value as the project to process.

• Searches the current directory and subdirectories.

  Starting in the current directory, the CLI gathers all AppHost projects from that directory and below. If a single project is discovered, it’s automatically selected. If multiple projects are discovered, they’re printed to the terminal for the user to manually select one of the projects.

  Once a project is selected, either automatically or manually, the path to the project is stored in the .aspire/settings.json config file.

Options

The following options are available:

• --apphost

  The path to the Aspire AppHost project file. Alias: --project.

• -?, -h, --help

  Prints help and usage documentation for the available commands and options.

• -d, --debug

  Enable debug logging to the console, which prints detailed information about what Aspire CLI is doing when a command is run.

• --wait-for-debugger

  Wait for a debugger to attach before running a command.

Examples
