`fluid provider-init`

Scaffold a new FLUID provider package with tests, entry points, and an SDK conformance harness.

Syntax

fluid provider-init NAME [--author NAME] [--description TEXT] [--output-dir DIR]

Key options

Option	Description
`NAME`	Provider name — lowercase, alphanumeric + underscores, must start with a letter (positional, required).
`--author`	Author name to write into `pyproject.toml` and the README (default `FLUID Community`).
`--description`	Short description for the package (defaults to `FLUID provider for <Name>`).
`--output-dir`	Parent directory for the new package (default `.`).

Examples

fluid provider-init databricks
fluid provider-init azure --author "My Company" --description "Azure Synapse"
fluid provider-init kafka --output-dir ~/projects

Notes

Creates fluid-provider-<name>/ with a pyproject.toml (with the fluid_build.providers entry point), src/fluid_provider_<name>/{__init__,provider}.py, a conformance test, a fixture contract, and a README.
Refuses reserved names: unknown, stub, base, test, none, default, local, aws, gcp, snowflake, odps. Refuses to overwrite an existing target directory.
Hyphens in the provided name are normalised to underscores for the Python module; the directory name and entry-point slug use hyphens.
The fixture contract pins fluidVersion to the latest schema bundled with this CLI.
Once installed with pip install -e ".[dev]", the new provider shows up in fluid providers.
