-B, --binary

Print the binary file path of the specified component:

  • Executing tiup -B/--binary <component> will print the path of the latest stable version of the installed <component> component. If the <component> component is not installed, an error will be reported.
  • Executing tiup -B/--binary <component>:<version> will print the path of the installed <component> component’s <version> version. If that version is not installed, an error will be reported.

I did an experiment, and it actually reported an error…

~$ tiup --version
1.11.0 tiup
Go Version: go1.19
Git Ref: v1.11.0
GitHash: 1a4714d7146fa85240a1ff4ef7451df719e0b4f0

~$ tiup --binary tiflash:v6.0.0

~$ tiup --binary tidb:v6.0.0
/Users/hqh/.tiup/components/tidb/v6.0.0/tidb-server

~$ tiup -B tidb:v6.0.0

If this version is not installed, an error will be reported.
tidb:v6.0.0 Is this version not installed?

There is a bug in tiup where the uppercase parameter ‘B’ is not set during command parsing.

If anyone has time, please submit a PR.

My GitHub is very slow and often fails to load, so I can’t submit anything.
