Search output

Warning

This is an experimental feature subject to breaking changes in future releases.

The conan search provides a --json parameter to generate a file containing the information of the search process.

The output JSON contains a two first level keys:

• error: True if the upload completed without error, False otherwise.

• results: A list of the remotes with the packages found. Each element contains:

  • remote: Name of the remote.

  • items: List of the items found in that remote. For each item there will always be a

    recipe and optionally also packages when searching them.

    • recipe: Document representing the uploaded recipe.

      • id: Reference, e.g., “openssl/1.0.2u”

    • packages: List of elements representing the binary packages found for the recipe.

      • id: Package ID, e.g., “8018a4df6e7d2b4630a814fa40c81b85b9182d2b”

      • options: Dictionary of options of the package.

      • settings: Dictionary with settings of the package.

      • requires: List of requires of the package.

      • outdated: Boolean to show whether package is outdated from recipe or not.

Examples:

• Search references in all remotes: conan search eigen* -r all
