Creating view using command line or script

Couchbase Server
1

Hi everybody,
what’s the most recommended way to pass views from environment to environment.
my scenario is this: I have 3 environments with 3 different CB clusters - TEST, STAGING, PROD.
I create a view on TEST env and then want to propagate it to STAGING and then to ORT. I don’t have access to neither staging nor prod, so I have to prepare a script for our devops guys that will create the view.

I think I can use cbbackup + cbrestore -x design_doc_only=1 -x rehash=1

but I don’t like it, since the ‘restore’ command has a harmful potential.
is there a better way? is there a way with ruby/python SDK?

thanks,
Asaf

Hi, View management is REST based so the most portable thing from my perspective would be to use any scripting you like and use that REST API: http://docs.couchbase.com/admin/admin/REST/rest-views-intro.html

In addition, note that the SDKs support design document management (creating, deleting or replacing design documents), which includes individual views. See each SDK documentation for background.
