Summary

Closes#21245

Add two new flags to thecoder create command to support non-interactive automation scenarios like GitHub Actions.

Changes

--no-wait flag

Returns immediately after triggering workspace creation. The workspace build continues in the background. This is consistent with the existing--no-wait flag oncoder start.

--no-prompt flag

Disables all interactive prompts. The command will:

• Use default values for parameters that have defaults
• Fail with a clear error message if:
  • Workspace name is not provided
  • Template name is not provided
  • Required parameters without defaults are missing
  • Preset selection is needed but no default preset exists

Usage Examples

# Create workspace without waiting for build to completecoder create my-workspace --template my-template -y --no-wait# Create workspace non-interactively (fails if any prompting would be needed)coder create my-workspace --template my-template --no-prompt -y# Combine both for fully non-interactive, async creation (ideal for CI/CD)coder create my-workspace --template my-template --no-prompt --no-wait -y

Test plan

• Added unit tests for--no-wait flag
• Added unit tests for--no-prompt flag with missing workspace name
• Added unit tests for--no-prompt flag with missing template name
• Added unit tests for--no-prompt flag success case
• All existing tests pass
