NAME

gcloud beta emulators spanner start - start a local Cloud Spanner emulator

SYNOPSIS

gcloud beta emulators spanner start [--enable-fault-injection=ENABLE_FAULT_INJECTION] [--host-port=HOST_PORT] [--rest-port=REST_PORT] [--use-docker=USE_DOCKER] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(BETA) This command starts a local Cloud Spanner emulator.

EXAMPLES

To start a local Cloud Spanner emulator, run:

$ gcloud beta emulators spanner start

FLAGS

--enable-fault-injection=ENABLE_FAULT_INJECTION

If true, the emulator will randomly inject faults into transactions. This facilitates application abort-retry testing.

--host-port=HOST_PORT

The host:port to which the emulator should be bound. The default value is localhost:9010. Note that this port serves gRPC requests. To override the default port serving REST requests, use --rest-port. If using Docker to run the emulator, the host must be specified as an ipaddress.

--rest-port=REST_PORT

The port at which REST requests are served. gcloud uses REST to communicate with the emulator. The default value is 9020.

--use-docker=USE_DOCKER

Use the Cloud Spanner emulator docker image even if the platform has a native binary available in the gcloud CLI. Currently we only provide a native binary for Linux. For other systems, you must install Docker for your platform before starting the emulator.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
