Summary

  • Add xf db (alias xf database) to open an environment's MySQL database in TablePlus on macOS.
  • Resolve the connection through OrbStack's <service>.<instance>.orb.local hostname, so no ports need publishing or forwarding.
  • Add internal/database to detect the driver from XF_CONTEXTS and build connection URLs, and support --print-url (bare URL for scripting) and xf db shell (in-container mariadb client, forwarding any extra arguments such as -e '…').

Testing

  • make all passes: go vet, gofmt check, golangci-lint, go test ./..., and the build.
  • Unit tests cover driver detection, URL and credential percent-encoding, OrbStack hostnames, and credential resolution.
  • Manually verified xf db --print-url against a local environment.

Visual evidence

CleanShot.2026-09-16.at.02.54.46.mp4

Notes

  • Only MySQL on macOS with OrbStack is supported for now. Other drivers and platforms are detected and rejected with an actionable hint.
  • The TablePlus launch itself is not covered by automated tests.
  • --print-url intentionally outputs the local development password. CodeQL raises go/clear-text-logging for it: GitHub's PR check does not honour in-code codeql[...] suppression comments, so alert Bump the gomod group with 2 updates #4 is dismissed as "won't fix" through delegated alert dismissal. The output line still carries a codeql[go/clear-text-logging] annotation for CLI runs and future dismiss-alerts use. Re-dismissal is needed if that exact line is edited.

Checklist

  • The change is focused and does not include unrelated work.
  • Relevant automated and/or manual testing has been performed.
  • UI changes include screenshots or video where appropriate.
  • Upgrade, compatibility, and performance implications have been considered.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the xf db command, with xf database available as an alias.
    • View database connection URLs, open a MariaDB shell inside the database container, or launch connections in TablePlus.
    • Added clear errors for missing database details and unsupported environments.
    • Database access currently supports MySQL environments only.
  • Documentation

    • Added usage instructions, supported options, and platform requirements for database access.

Note

Add xf db command to open environment database in TablePlus

  • Adds the xf db (alias xf database) command accepting an optional environment path and dispatching to three modes: default host-side client (TablePlus on macOS), --print-url, or --shell.
  • Introduces the internal/database package with driver detection (database.Detect), default port and URL scheme mapping per driver, URL generation with percent-encoded credentials (database.Info.URL), and OrbStack hostname formatting (database.OrbStackHost).
  • The default flow launches TablePlus with the resolved connection URL only on macOS with OrbStack; --shell runs the mariadb client inside the Compose mysql service using MYSQL_PWD.
  • Extracts a reusable dockercompose.IsOrbStack detector from the inline logic in Runner.GetURL.
  • Behavioral Change: only MySQL and MySQL replication contexts are supported; PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and SQLite are detected and mapped but the command rejects unsupported drivers with an error. Non-macOS or non-OrbStack hosts cannot use the default TablePlus flow and receive guidance to use --print-url or --shell instead.

Macroscope summarized e8d264e.

returning successfully with the orb.local URL, while preserving the explicit

Add `xf db` (alias `xf database`) to open an environment's MySQL
database in TablePlus on macOS, using OrbStack's
`<service>.<instance>.orb.local` hostname so no port publishing is
needed.

- `--print-url` prints the connection URL; `--shell` opens the
  in-container `mariadb` client.
- `internal/database` detects the driver from XF_CONTEXTS and builds
  connection URLs; only MySQL is wired up for now.
--print-url deliberately emits the connection URL, including the local
development password, so it can be piped into a client. Mark the single
output line with a codeql[go/clear-text-logging] suppression comment.
- Reject --print-url together with --shell as a usage error.
- Require OrbStack before printing the connection URL, so an
  unresolvable orb.local hostname is never emitted.
- Propagate the Docker engine detection error from GetURL instead of
  discarding it.

- Restore Runner.Contexts, which xf db now consumes, to select the
  database driver from XF_CONTEXTS.
- Use Runner.ExecOrRun for the in-container database shell in place of
  the removed ExecWithEnv.

Replace the --shell flag with an `xf db shell` passthrough command so
client options and queries can be forwarded, for example
`xf db shell -e 'show tables;'`.

`xf db` has its own flags, so it cannot itself be a passthrough command.
The shell is a subcommand that forwards everything after it, following
the same convention as php, composer and exec.
