Exit Codes

Device Cloud uses standard exit codes to indicate the status of command execution. Understanding these codes is useful for CI/CD integration and automation.

Standard Exit Codes

Success

0    # Command completed successfully

General Errors

1    # CLI or infrastructure error (bad workspace, network failure, dcd bug)
2    # Test run explicitly failed

JSON Output

The two JSON flags behave differently around test failures:

  • --json — prints results as JSON to stdout but still signals the outcome through the exit code: 0 on success, 2 on test failure, 1 on CLI/infrastructure errors.
  • --json-file — writes results to a file and exits 0 even when the test run fails, so a failing test won't stop your pipeline. CLI/infrastructure errors still exit 1.

{% hint style="info" %} Use --json-file when you want to inspect the result yourself rather than have a non-zero exit code fail the build. Use --json when you still want the exit code to gate your pipeline. {% endhint %}
