`version` used to be optional but it seems we recently had to make it a required parameter. However it really feels redundant when all it’s used for is to determine whether the command should issue a legacy user API key or a provisioning key.
This makes version optional but tries to figure it out by itself by reading os-release from the image's boot partition. This is not foul-proof however, and while it'll work with most recent images it won't work with all and in that case it'll bail out and only then warn the user to specify it via the --version argument.
Change-type: minor
Both commands work with local devices by remotely invoking the `os-config` executable via SSH. This requires an as of yet unreleased resinOS (that will most likely be v2.14) and the commands ascertain compatibility merely by looking for the `os-config` executable in the device, and bail out if it’s not present.
`join` and `leave` accept a couple of optional arguments and implement a wizard-style interface if these are not given. They allow to interactively select the device and the application to promote to. If the user has no apps, `join` will offer the user to create one. `join` will also offer the user to login or create an account if they’re not logged in already without exiting the wizard.
`resin-sync` (that's used internally to discover local devices) requires admin privileges. If no device has been specified as an argument, the commands will launch the device scanning process in a privileged subprocess via two new internal commands: `internal sudo` and `internal scanDevices`. This avoids having the user to invoke the commands with sudo and only request escalation if truly needed. This commit also removes the dependency to “president”, implementing “sudo” functionality within the CLI.
Change-Type: minor
Currently, `config generate` requires a device uuid. The command now
accepts either a uuid or an application name, and generates a
config.json accordingly.
In my system (MBPr 13), printing the current version takes over 2
seconds:
```sh
$ time ./bin/resin version
2.4.0
./bin/resin version 1.37s user 0.19s system 73% cpu 2.130 total
```
The CLI takes almost all of these time to parse the dependency tree
before returning control over the actually called command.
To mitigate this problem, we only require the NPM dependencies a command
requires when executing such command, and thus prevent dependencies from
being required and parsed unnecessary.
After this improvement, printing the original example (`resin version`)
returns in less than a second (2x improvement):
```sh
$ time ./bin/resin version
2.4.0
./bin/resin version 0.88s user 0.09s system 102% cpu 0.938 total
```
