Motivation

MT-23076

The API token endpoints now accept an expires_at attribute. The CLI needs a way to set a token expiry on create and reset, including the explicit "never expires" case.

Changes

  • tokens create gains an --expires-at flag mapped to the expires_at param of the createApiToken operation (POST /api/api_tokens)
  • tokens reset gains the same flag mapped to the now-optional request body of the resetApiToken operation (POST /api/api_tokens/{id}/reset); without the flag the command still posts no body, exactly as before
  • tri-state semantics: flag omitted – key absent from the request body (server default applies, a 1-year default is being rolled out behind a feature flag); --expires-at never (case-insensitive sentinel) – explicit "expires_at": null, token never expires; any other value – passed through verbatim as a string
  • no client-side date validation – past, unparseable, or more-than-5-years-ahead values are rejected by the server with a 422, which the CLI surfaces through its standard error path
  • docs: README command table and examples, skills/mailtrap-cli/references/accounts.md flag tables

Caveat: the 422 for a rejected expiration is printed as the raw JSON body, e.g. API error 422: {"errors":{"base":["Expiration date must be in the future"]}}. The client's error decoder doesn't handle per-field messages ("errors": {"field": [...]}) and falls back to the raw body – the message is readable, just unformatted. This predates this PR and applies to every command's validation errors; formatting them properly is a separate change.

How to test

  • mailtrap tokens create --name t1 --permissions '[...]' (no --expires-at) – request body has no expires_at key; the created token gets the server default expiry
  • mailtrap tokens create --name t2 --permissions '[...]' --expires-at 2027-06-01T00:00:00Z – token is created with that expiry, EXPIRES_AT column shows it
  • mailtrap tokens create --name t3 --permissions '[...]' --expires-at never (also try NEVER) – token is created without an expiry
  • mailtrap tokens create --name t4 --permissions '[...]' --expires-at 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z – command exits non-zero and prints the server 422 error to stderr (raw JSON body, see caveat above)
  • mailtrap tokens reset --id <id> (no --expires-at) – behaves exactly as before this change: empty request body, new token value printed
  • mailtrap tokens reset --id <id> --expires-at 2027-06-01T00:00:00Z and --expires-at never – new token gets that expiry / no expiry
  • mailtrap tokens list / tokens get --id <id> – unchanged, EXPIRES_AT column still renders

Companion PRs

Caveat: release/merge only after falcon deploys MT-23076 and zap_api_token_expiration is enabled in production.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Token creation and reset commands now accept optional --expires-at values. The change supports timestamps and case-insensitive never values. API errors can now contain multiple validation messages.

Changes

Token expiration and API error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expiration flag and request handling
internal/commands/tokens/*.go
Both token commands register --expires-at. Requests include expires_at only when the flag is provided. never becomes null.
Expiration request validation
internal/commands/tokens/tokens_test.go
Tests cover timestamps, omitted values, never, case-insensitive input, empty reset bodies, and rejected expired timestamps.
Multiple API validation messages
internal/client/errors.go, internal/client/client_test.go
API errors store multiple messages per field. Error formatting sorts fields and joins messages.
Expiration command documentation
README.md, skills/mailtrap-cli/references/accounts.md
Documentation describes the flag, accepted formats, omission behavior, and server defaults.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 40a2f

Expiry validation failures may be returned in more than one field-error format, and the current handling can fall back to a raw response instead of clear field-level CLI feedback. The change is otherwise mergeable, with explicit owner awareness or follow-up recommended for consistent validation error presentation.

Pull request overview

Adds support for setting API token expiration from the CLI to match updated API semantics, including the explicit “never expires” case while preserving the previous no-body behavior for tokens reset when the flag is omitted.

Changes:

  • Adds --expires-at to tokens create and tokens reset with tri-state request semantics (omit / nevernull / string passthrough).
  • Introduces a shared helper (expiresAtValue) and shared flag help text (expiresAtUsage) for consistent behavior across commands.
  • Updates docs and extends token command tests to cover omitted/present/never/server-422 flows.

Cover the new field-error formatting branch.

The fixture sets "error": "validation failed", so APIError.Error() does not call formatErrors(). It also contains only one message. Add a case with no primary error and multiple messages across fields, then assert the sorted key and comma-separated message output.

- Around line 9-12: Update APIError.Errors and its JSON unmarshalling behavior
so each validation field accepts either a scalar string or an array of strings,
normalizing both forms into []string without causing Client.do to fall back to
the raw response body. Preserve the existing omission behavior for absent errors
and the APIError.Message handling for other response content.
