How to use name parameter in alembic.command.revision

[holyoaks]

I'm trying to use the recipe in the cookbook for running multiple environments from one file (https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/cookbook.html#run-multiple-alembic-environments-from-one-ini-file). That indicates that specifying the --name parameter allows running the alembic command, with the name of the configuration I want to use. The challenge I'm having is that I do not see a way to do this using the alembic.command python syntax. Looking at the alembic code, the revision command does not have a name kwarg, nor any kwarg that corresponds to that option in the cli. Is there not a way to do this? I have python cli tools built around alembic to manage revisions, upgrading and downgrading dbs, etc., but now that I need to manage multiple environments, I don't see how to accomplish that. Please help. Thanks!

Hi,

I believe that name changes the value set in https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/api/config.html#alembic.config.Config.params.ini_section, that's accessed via https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/api/config.html#alembic.config.Config.config_ini_section

Thank you @CaselIT . I was looking in the Command section and didn't see that detail in the Config section.
