One-off tasks

For these, we're using Flask commands, which live in /app/commands.py.

This includes things that might be one-time operations! If we're running it on production, it should be a Flask command Using a command allows the operation to be tested, both with pytest and with trial runs in staging.

To see information about available commands, you can get a list with:

pipenv run flask command

Appending --help to any command will give you more information about parameters.

To run a command on cloud.gov, use this format:

cf run-task CLOUD-GOV-APP --commmand "YOUR COMMAND HERE" --name YOUR-COMMAND
