App::S...revert(3pm)

💅 App::Sqitch::Command::revert

okay bestie, so this is the Perl side of the revert command from Sqitch — the App::Sqitch::Command::revert module 🦋 it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and its whole vibe is reverting Sqitch changes from a database. yes, undoing. we love a lil time travel 🕰️✨

---

🌸 Synopsis

my $cmd = App::Sqitch::Command::revert->new(%params);
$cmd->execute;

that's the whole flex, fr fr 💖

---

✨ Description

bestie listen 🫶 if you actually wanna know how to use the revert command, you are in the WRONG place — you want to be reading sqitch-revert, okay? go go go 🏃‍♀️

but if you truly, deeply, no-cap need to know how the revert command works under the hood? then read on, bestie, because this is the behind-the-scenes lore 🎀👑

💜 Interface

🧚 Class Methods

• options

my @opts = App::Sqitch::Command::revert->options;

hands you back a list of Getopt::Long option specs — aka the receipts for all the command-line options the revert command supports 💅

🦋 Attributes

• log_only — a boolean that says whether to log the deploy without actually running the scripts 👀 yes, fake it but log it.
• lock_timeout — how many seconds to wait for an exclusive advisory lock on the target, but only for engines that support that feature (iykyk).
• modified — boolean, revert to the change prior to the earliest change that has a revised deploy script 🔥
• no_prompt — boolean saying yay or nay to prompting the user to really truly go through with the revert. no prompting = main character energy.
• prompt_accept — boolean for whether the default answer to the prompt (like, if the user just smashes Return) is to accept it or deny it 💖
• strict — boolean that decides whether or not a change to revert to is required. strict girlies stay strict.
• target — the deployment target URI 🎯
• to_change — the change to revert to 🌈

⭐ Instance Methods

• execute

$revert->execute;

literally just executes the revert command. that's it. that's the method 💀✨
