* fix(cli): only preserve case for raw-app runnableIds, not app/flow summaries PR #8940 stopped lowercasing in sanitizeForFilesystem to fix #8939, where a raw-app runnableId like CamelCaseTSRunnable produced a CamelCase YAML metadata file but a lowercased code file, making them desync and register as duplicate runnables on push. That fix overshot. sanitizeForFilesystem is also reached by newPathAssigner, which serves normal apps and flows where the input is the script's human summary ("Get Users Data") rather than an identifier. There the on-disk filename is the only artifact — there's no companion YAML to keep in sync — so lowercasing was the right behavior. Removing it changed both the on-disk filename and the !inline reference in app.yaml / flow.yaml from get_users_data.inline_script.ts to Get_Users_Data.inline_script.ts on the next pull, surfacing as unwanted case churn for users updating to 1.693.x. Add a preserveCase option to sanitizeForFilesystem (default false → lowercase). newRawAppPathAssigner opts in; newPathAssigner stays on the default. Update unit tests accordingly and add an end-to-end raw-app round-trip in raw_app_sync.test.ts that pushes a CamelCase backend runnable, pulls it back, and asserts both YAML and code file preserve case with no lowercase orphan. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(cli): use readdir for exact-case orphan check on Windows The CamelCase round-trip test used fileExists("camelcasetsrunnable.ts") to assert no lowercase orphan was produced, which false-positives on Windows since the filesystem is case-insensitive and resolves the lookup to the existing CamelCaseTSRunnable.ts. Switch to readdir + toContain so the exact on-disk casing is compared identically on Linux and Windows.

Windmill CLI
A simple CLI allowing interactions with windmill from the command line.
You can find more information in Windmill Docs
Installation
Install the wmill CLI tool using npm install -g windmill-cli.
Update to the latest version using wmill upgrade.
Workspaces
To get started run wmill workspace add or use the instructions from the
workspace settings.
Running Flows & Scripts
Run a script or flow using wmill flow/script run u/username/path/to/script and
pass any inputs using --data + Inputs specified as a JSON string or a file
using @ <filename> or stdin using @-.
Curl-style syntax using -d @- for stdin or -d @<filename> is also supported.
Flow Steps and Logs will be streamed during execution automatically.
Pushing Resources, Scripts & More
The CLI can push specifications to a windmill instance. See the examples/ folder for formats.
Switch to a different workspace
wmill workspace switch <workspace_name>
Sync a workspace
Pull
wmill sync pull
Push
wmill sync push
We recommend using the --yaml option to use yaml instead of json as the encoding format. Yaml will be made the default soon.
Pushing individual files
You can push individual resources using
wmill <type> push <file_name> \<remote_name\>. This does not require a special
folder layout or file name, as this is given at runtime.
Listing
All commands support listing by just not providing a subcommand, ie
wmill script will result in a list of scripts. Some allow additional options,
learn about this by specifying --help.
User Management
You can add & remove users via wmill user add/remove, and list them using
wmill user
Pulling
You can pull the entire workspace using wmill pull
Completion
The CLI comes with completions out of the box via wmill completions <shell>.
(Via cliffy)
Bash
To enable bash completions add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:
source <(wmill completions bash)
Fish
To enable fish completions add the following line to your
~/.config/fish/config.fish:
source (wmill completions fish | psub)
Zsh
To enable zsh completions add the following line to your ~/.zshrc:
source <(wmill completions zsh)
Development
AI Guidance Variants
wmill init can now materialize alternate AI guidance bundles without changing
the generated defaults in the repo, but this is exposed as internal env-var
overrides rather than public CLI flags.
Examples:
WMILL_INIT_AI_SKILLS_SOURCE=/path/to/custom/skills wmill init --use-default
WMILL_INIT_AI_SKILLS_SOURCE=/path/to/custom/skills WMILL_INIT_AI_AGENTS_SOURCE=/path/to/AGENTS.md wmill init --use-default
WMILL_INIT_AI_SKILLS_SOURCE=/path/to/custom/skills WMILL_INIT_AI_CLAUDE_SOURCE=/path/to/CLAUDE.md wmill init --use-default
This is the same guidance-writing path used by the benchmark CLI under
ai_evals/, so the benchmark harness and wmill init now generate the same
project guidance shape:
AGENTS.mdCLAUDE.md.agents/skills/*.claude/skills/*
Testing with a local windmill-yaml-validator
To test local changes to the validator before publishing, use npm link:
# In windmill-yaml-validator/
npm run build
npm link
# In cli/
npm link windmill-yaml-validator
