05/17/2019, 2:40 PMIs the Node.js CLI available for general use at this time? I don't see anything in SuiteAnswers about it. I already use Node to run my unit tests, so I'd happily switch to it if it was available. If not, where can we look for announcements about it?

05/20/2019, 8:43 PMis the node sdfcli going to be a npm wrapper around the existing sdf.jar?

05/20/2019, 8:43 PMI'm imagining i'll be able to
npm install sdfa

05/21/2019, 8:41 AMWe are working to get the CLI in the public npm repo. Hopefully you guys will be able to install it through npm

05/21/2019, 8:42 AMFor now, some commands of the Node.js cli will rely on the SDF Jar. However, long term we want to remove completely that dependency and just work with a pure Node.js CLI

05/21/2019, 8:43 AMThis design seemed to be the most reasonable in terms of time to delivery. However, we do understand that having a dependency with Java JDK is not ideal
