Project and instance definition when using -cf

[alafanechere]

Hi, I would like to use your emulator in my local environment.
I tried to use -cf my_new_instance.my_new_table.my_new_column_family flag to create an instance, table and column family on container start.

I cannot see the created instance and table when I run cbt ls from my system (after having set BIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HST=localhost:9035).
I set .cbtrc like this :

instance = my_new_instance
project = my_project

Do you have an idea of why cbt does not find the newly created table / instance on the emulator.

Otherwise, when I run cbt createtable the table seems reachable from cbt because I can see it when running cbt ls afterwards.

Thanks for your help.

The project name is hard-coded to "dev" (https://github.com/Shopify/bigtable-emulator/blob/master/bigtable-emulator.go#L63). Try this command

BIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:9035 cbt -project dev -instance my_new_instance ls
