bash: diesel: command not found

[yyolf117]

I've installed "diesel_cli" but when I'm calling "diesel setup" or "diesel_cli", the exception is "bash: diesel: command not found" or "bash: diesel_cli: command not found". What's the matter? Wasn't it supposed to insert itself into the path?

How'd you install it? With cargo install? It writes the binary to a path like `.cargo/bin/`. See cargo's docs for details. yyolf117 <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Sa. 26. Aug. 2017 um 13:00:

yes, with cargo install.

[yyolf117]

$ ls ~/.cargo/bin/
diesel

but

$ diesel
bash: diesel: command not found

and one more thing:

what if I gave it a different name? MY_DATABASE_URL

`
$ diesel setup

[.................................]

The --database-url argument must be passed, or the DATABASE_URL environment variable must be set.`

So, I guess ~/.cargo/bin/ isn't in $PATH? It probably should be! ;)

You can also tell cargo install to install it somewhere else, like /usr/local/bin.

(I think rustup adds this but only for certain shells and system.)

[yyolf117]

ok, how about my last question?

[killercup]

I didn't see your edit or the question in the code block.

what if I gave it a different name? MY_DATABASE_URL

Then… you have an environment variable called MY_DATABASE_URL. But diesel_cli has no way of knowing that it exists or that it should even care about that. Thus, you'll need to pass it the --database-url argument with the (you guessed it) database url, or use the env variable name it expects.

[yyolf117]

thx. but I can't use the env. variable called DATABASE_URL in each project I have because, of course, each connection string in each proejct is different.

[killercup]

That's what the .env file is for :) Have a look at the guide.

[yyolf117]

I didn't find anything related to "--database-url" being passed as an argument to diesel in the command line in the guides, where is it?

[killercup]

What do you mean? Have you read `diesel --help`? It's `diesel --database-url="your url"`. yyolf117 <notifications@github.com> schrieb am So. 27. Aug. 2017 um 05:21:
