glacier generate

Synopsis. Run every Glacier code generator (cli, mock, httpmock) over the current module.

Other commands: vibe version lint test init new completions explain

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
[patterns]	./...	go/packages patterns to scan. Pass one or more to restrict to a subtree.
--check	false	Drift-detection mode: no files are written; exits 69 if any generated file is stale.
--only	(all)	Comma-separated subset of generators to run. Values: cli, mock, httpmock.
--parallel	0	Cap the number of concurrent generators. 0 uses GOMAXPROCS.
--no-status	false	Suppress the live status panel animation.

Examples

Run all generators over the entire module:

glacier generate

Check for drift without writing (CI gate):

glacier generate --check

Regenerate only mock stubs:

glacier generate --only=mock

Regenerate cli and mock in parallel, capped at 2:

glacier generate --only=cli,mock --parallel=2

Run against a single package:

glacier generate ./cmd/myapp/...

What it does under the hood

generate runs three generators: cli/gen.Generate, mock/gen.Generate, and httpmock/gen.Generate. Each generator is a direct function reference; there is no reflection or plugin system. Generators run concurrently in a concur.Group, each owning one row in a term.StatusBar rendered by a term.Animator. With --only, the generator list is filtered before dispatch. With --check, the generators run in read-only mode and return an error containing the word "stale" for any drift; the command collects those errors, prints a summary, and exits 69.

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	All generators succeeded
2	Usage error (bad pattern or unknown generator name)
64	At least one generator failed
69	Drift detected in --check mode
