Wiping and importing state
overcast reset wipes emulated state, all of it or one service's; overcast import cognito-users copies users out of a real AWS user pool into an Overcast one.
overcast reset clears emulated state. overcast import is the one command
that reads from real AWS, and so far it copies Cognito users.
overcast reset s3
overcast import cognito-users --from-pool-id us-east-1_abc123 --to-pool-id us-east-1_def456Part of the CLI reference.
overcast reset [service]
Wipes all emulated state, or one service’s, via
POST /_overcast/reset[/{service}]. It is available on every daemon, not only
a debug one: it grants no more power than deleting every resource by hand
through the ordinary AWS API already does.
Caution
This destroys state. In an interactive terminal you are asked to confirm
unless --yes/-y is given; a non-interactive caller (CI, a pipe) proceeds
without prompting.
overcast reset # wipe everything, with a confirmation prompt
overcast reset s3 # wipe only S3 state
overcast reset dynamodb --yes # skip the promptovercast import cognito-users
Copies users from a real AWS Cognito user pool into an Overcast pool, in
batches. Passwords cannot be read out of AWS, so imported users land in
FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD status.
