acton studio

Reference manual for the acton studio command

Synopsis

acton studio [options]

Description

Available since: Acton 1.2

Start Acton Studio for the selected project and open it in the default browser. Studio provides test history, contract inspection, wallets, and local environments. It listens on 127.0.0.1:3015 by default. Keep the command running while using Studio.

Workspace metadata, test history, and managed environment data are stored under .studio/ in the project. Docker is required for localnet environments; Simulator environments do not require Docker.

Options

--host<ip>

Address for the Studio server. Only loopback addresses are accepted.

Default:

127.0.0.1

--port<port>

Port for the Studio server. Use a different port if the default is occupied.

Default:

3015

--no-open

Start Studio without opening the default browser.

Project Options

--manifest-path<path>

Path to the Acton.toml file to use for this invocation.

Use this when running the command outside the project directory or when the manifest lives at a non-default location.

Conflicts with:

--project-root

--project-root<path>

Path to the project root to use for configuration discovery and relative defaults.

Conflicts with:

--manifest-path

Test Reporting

CLI test runs report to Studio when it is running for the same project. Reporting failures do not change test success or the exit status. Use acton test --no-studio-reporting or [test].studio-reporting = false to disable reporting.

Examples

acton studio
acton studio --port 3020 --no-open
acton --project-root ../my-project studio
