Provide documentation on how to use `test-bot` command when the full lifecycle is not wanted - or needs customizing about homebrew-test-bot HOT 7 CLOSED

documentation on using the command (rather than the test-bot system as a whole), other than --help - which does not provide high-level docs, just descriptions of each arg

This is all the documentation that's provided beyond https://docs.brew.sh/Brew-Test-Bot and https://docs.brew.sh/Brew-Test-Bot-For-Core-Contributors. We'll accept PRs to add any more and I'll answer questions on those PRs to fill in specific questions you have.

options for a custom upload script (i.e. to upload to somewhere that isn't bintray)

Instead of running brew test-bot --ci-upload use the output bottles and JSON files to upload to the location of your choice.

a way to get both the locally-produced bottle filename, and the filename that it should be uploaded/stored as, without depending on implementation details

The output JSON generated by brew test-bot contains this information.

Just checking: is this considered a stable public API?

from homebrew-test-bot.

It's simple enough that I don't see it needing to change so: yes, I guess so. It can be considered to follow the versioning of the rest of Homebrew so if there's deprecations they will be announced in the minor version release notes.

Thanks; I'll see if I can find someone who wants to pursue this, otherwise I'll probably take a look some time next year.

I just ran into this issue since the 1.7.2 tag was made. I made some code that extracts the "filename that it should be uploaded/stored as" from the json and infer the "locally-produced bottle filename" from the name of the json file and changing the extension from json to tar.gz, since the "locally-produced bottle filename" isn't stored in the json.

@scpeters I think it would be good to make brew bottle --json generate that information, what do you think? Would you be interested in submitting a PR to add it?
