Zeebe带有控制台程序，但使用起来有些复杂，我们现在使用c#编写一个简单的Zeebe控制台程序，完成流程导入，实例创建，消息发送等功能。首先，在Visual Studio中创建一个.Net Core的控制台项目，然后使用NuGet程序包管理器引入zb-client，下面是程序代码:

using NLog.Extensions.Logging;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Zeebe.Client;

namespace ZeebeConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        private static readonly string ZeebeUrl = "127.0.0.1:26500";
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var client = ZeebeClient.Builder()
                 .UseLoggerFactory(new NLogLoggerFactory())
                 .UseGatewayAddress(ZeebeUrl)
                 .UsePlainText()
                 .Build();

            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkGreen;
            Console.WriteLine("欢迎使用流程引擎测试命令行工具\r\n");
            Console.ResetColor();
            while (true)
            {
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;
                Console.Write(">");
                var command = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.ResetColor();
                if (command.ToLower() == "exit")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("结束运行");
                    return;
                }
                var res = await ProcessCommand(client,command);
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(res)) Console.WriteLine(res);
            }
        }

        private static async Task<string> ProcessCommand(IZeebeClient client, string command)
        {
            try
            {
                var arr = command.Split(" ".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
                if (arr.Count() > 0)
                {
                    var commandname = arr[0].ToLower();

                    switch (commandname)
                    {
                        case "info":
                            return await Utility.InfoAsync(client);
                        case "import":
                            if (arr.Count() < 2)
                            {
                                return "缺少流程文件路径";
                            }
                            return await Utility.ImportFlowDefineAsync(client,arr[1]);
                        case "create":
                            if (arr.Count() < 3)
                            {
                                return "缺少流程名称和初始参数(参数1=值1;参数2=值2)";
                            }
                            return await Utility.CreateAndStartAsync(client, arr[1],arr[2]);
                        case "remove":
                            if (arr.Count() < 2)
                            {
                                return "缺少流程key";
                            }
                            return await Utility.RemoveInstanceAsync(client, arr[1]);
                        case "message":
                            if (arr.Count() < 4) return "缺少参数，message messagename relatekey 参数(参数1=值1;参数2=值2)";
                           return await Utility.SendMessageAsync(client,arr[1], arr[2], arr[3]);
                    }
                }
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(command)) return "无法识别的命令：" + command;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return "发生错误:" + ex.Message;
            }

            return "";
        }
    }
}

            return "{}";

}

这个控制台程序有如下几个命令：

• info : 显示基本信息
• import : 导入流程文件
• create : 创建流程实例
• remove ： 删除流程实例
• message : 发送消息
