Release Notes

Bug Fixes

  • confluent iam rbac role-binding list --inclusive had a help-text description that contradicted its own documented example and actual behavior. (APIE-1362)
  • The RequireValidExamples() lint rule incorrectly flagged boolean flags using --flag=value syntax in command examples. (APIE-1286)
  • confluent logout errored or silently auto-logged-in-then-out instead of being a no-op when already logged out. (APIE-1314)

Unchecked items need human follow-up before merge — no Go toolchain was available in the environment this PR was prepared in, so no build/lint/test run or live verification was possible. This is more important than usual for this PR since APIE-1314 changes which PreRun a command uses — please run make build && make lint && make test (especially TestLogout_RemoveUsernamePassword and TestLogout_RemoveUsernamePasswordFail) before merging. Opening as a draft for that reason.

What

Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform (on-prem) both — all three fixes touch shared code paths used by both login modes.

  1. APIE-1362 — the --inclusive flag's help text said "If scopes are unspecified, list only organization-scoped role bindings", contradicting the command's own documented example ("for all scopes") and the reporter's confirmed actual behavior. Corrected the text and the 4 golden fixtures that pinned the old wording.
  2. APIE-1286RequireValidExamples() (pkg/linter/command_rules.go) flagged any --flag=value in an example. Boolean flags legitimately need = to set the non-default value (e.g. --flag=false). Added a getBoolFlags() helper and excluded boolean flags from that check.
  3. APIE-1314confluent logout used NewAuthenticatedCLICommand, which requires being logged in. With no active session this produced Error: not logged in; with CONFLUENT_CLOUD_API_KEY/SECRET env vars set, it auto-logged-in only to immediately log back out. Switched to NewAnonymousCLICommand (the same pattern login itself uses) and return immediately with no error when there's no active context. The ccloud client used to revoke the refresh token (previously populated by the Authenticated PreRun) is now constructed directly inside revokeCCloudRefreshToken, only when a real session is confirmed to exist.

Blast Radius

  • APIE-1362: text-only fix to a --help description string. No behavior or serialized-output change.
  • APIE-1286: dev-tooling only (make lint-cli); no runtime CLI behavior changes for customers.
  • APIE-1314: behavior change, but narrowly scoped to confluent logout. Customers who are genuinely logged in see no change (still revokes the token, persists logout, prints the same success message). Customers who run logout while already logged out previously saw an error or an auto-login/logout cycle; they'll now see nothing happen at all, matching the ticket's explicit ask. Worth a careful look during review since it changes which PreRun the command uses.

Test & Review

No Go toolchain was available in the environment this PR was prepared in, so make build/make lint/make test were not run here — please run these before merging, and pay particular attention to test/logout_test.go given the APIE-1314 change.

What was actually verified:

  • APIE-1362: confirmed the exact flag text and updated all 4 golden fixtures that reference it.
  • APIE-1286: confirmed no existing test file covers RequireValidExamples(), so nothing to break; the new getBoolFlags() helper mirrors the existing getAllFlags()/getRequiredFlags() pattern in the same file.
  • APIE-1314: confirmed NewAnonymousCLICommand is the same constructor already used by internal/login/command.go; traced command.Version = r.Version into the Anonymous() PreRun function (pkg/cmd/prerunner.go:108) to confirm c.Version is populated before revokeCCloudRefreshToken needs it; confirmed the existing test/logout_test.go tests always log in immediately before logging out, so the no-op path isn't exercised by them (a new test for the no-op case would be worth adding).

…ng list

The flag's help text said "If scopes are unspecified, list only
organization-scoped role bindings," but the command's own documented
example ("for all scopes") and actual behavior return role bindings
across all scopes (org, environment, cluster) in that case. Corrected
the description to match, and updated the 4 golden fixtures that
pinned the old text.

…g the linter

RequireValidExamples() flagged any --flag=value in an example, but boolean
flags legitimately need "=" to set the non-default value (e.g. --flag=false).
Added getBoolFlags() and excluded them from the "=" check.

logout used NewAuthenticatedCLICommand, which required being logged in
(erroring "not logged in" with no context) and would auto-login via
env-var credentials only to immediately log back out. Switched to
NewAnonymousCLICommand (same pattern as `login`) and return immediately
when there's no active context, instead of erroring or auto-authenticating.
The ccloud client used to revoke the refresh token is now constructed
directly in revokeCCloudRefreshToken rather than relying on the
Authenticated PreRun to populate it.

--inclusive is only read by the Cloud-path functions (listMyRoleBindings,
ccloudListRolePrincipals), both called exclusively from ccloudList. The
on-prem path (confluentList) never reads it, even though the flag is
registered unconditionally for both login modes. Clarified the flag
description as Confluent Cloud-only so on-prem users don't think it
does something. Updated all 4 golden fixtures that pin this text.

revokeCCloudRefreshToken accessed c.Version.UserAgent directly, but
some PreRunner mocks (e.g. internal/login's cross-package test via
mock.Commander) never populate Version, causing a nil pointer panic.
Confirmed via the full test suite: TestLoginWithExistingContext
panicked in internal/login before this fix, passes after it. Guard
with a nil check instead of relying on every PreRunner implementation
to set Version.

Pull request overview

Fixes three user-facing and developer-tooling issues in the Confluent CLI: clarifies --inclusive help text for role-binding listing, corrects the linter’s handling of boolean --flag=value usage in examples, and updates confluent logout to be a true no-op when already logged out (avoiding auto-login/logout via env credentials).

Changes:

  • Update iam rbac role-binding list --inclusive flag help text and refresh affected golden fixtures.
  • Relax RequireValidExamples() lint rule to allow --bool-flag=value syntax in examples.
  • Switch logout to an anonymous pre-run and return early with no output when no context is active.

Comment thread internal/logout/command.go
Both the logout no-op branch and the new getBoolFlags/RequireValidExamples
"=" exception had zero test coverage, and RequireValidExamples' cognitive
complexity (23) exceeded the allowed threshold (15) once the boolFlags
check was added. Add direct unit tests for the no-op logout path and the
bool-flag example exception, and split RequireValidExamples' three
validation loops into named helper functions to bring complexity back
under the limit.
- Guard against a missing/corrupt context_state entry in
  revokeCCloudRefreshToken, which previously panicked on a nil
  ContextState instead of letting logout succeed as a no-op revoke.
- Add an integration test covering `confluent logout` run a second
  time with no active session, locking in the APIE-1314 no-op
  behavior end-to-end (not just at the unit level).
