spark pull
Pre-pull Docker images referenced in your test files. This is especially useful in CI pipelines — pull images once at the start, so individual test runs don't wait for downloads.
spark pull [path] [flags]
| Flag | Short | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--force | -f | false | Pull all images even if they exist locally |
--configuration | — | — | Path to spark.yaml config file |
Images are collected from: test services, service templates, config file services, and internal helper images. Pulls run in parallel for speed.
Great for CI warm-up. Add
spark pull ./tests --skip-cached as an early step in your pipeline. Test runs that follow will start faster because images are already available locally.
