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 --apphost option.

  This option specifies the path to the Aspire AppHost project file to process.

• The rooted aspire.config.json file.

  If the rooted config exists in the current directory, it’s used. If not, the CLI walks up the directory structure looking for it. If Aspire finds the rooted config, it uses the recorded AppHost information to determine which project to process. Legacy .aspire/settings.json files are still read during migration.

• 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, Aspire records that selection in the rooted configuration so later commands can reuse it.

Options

The following options are available:

• --apphost <apphost>

  The path to the Aspire AppHost project file.

• -?, -h, --help

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

• -l, --log-level <Critical|Debug|Error|Information|None|Trace|Warning>

  Set the minimum log level for console output. Use this option to increase diagnostics while troubleshooting or reduce output in scripted runs.

• --non-interactive

  Run the command in non-interactive mode, disabling all interactive prompts and spinners.

• --nologo

  Suppress the startup banner and telemetry notice.

• --banner

  Display the animated Aspire CLI welcome banner.

• --wait-for-debugger

  Wait for a debugger to attach before running a command.
