# kater report send

Sends a bug report to Kater, after you say yes.

{/* Written by apps/landing-page/scripts/docs/write_cli_reference.py from the kater CLI's own help and scripts/docs/cli-reference.md. Do not edit it by hand: change those, then run the script. */}

Give it the report that `kater report draft --json` wrote. It answers the report's ID, its status and its link.

## Examples

```bash
# Have Kater write the report, and keep it in a file
kater report draft "The chart sorts months in alphabetical order." --json > report.json
# Send it, after you check it and answer y
kater report send --request-file report.json
```

## Options

<div class="cli-options">

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--request-file <file>` | Required. The report as JSON: the `request` that `kater report draft --json` gives, or that whole answer. Only an agent's host can give `-` to read stdin. |

</div>

It also takes the [global options](https://kater.ai/docs/cli-reference/global-options/) `--json` and `--help`.

## It asks first

It shows the report and who reads it, and sends it only when you answer `y`. So run it in a terminal, with the report in a file. Through an agent, it runs with `kater_apply`, so the agent's host asks you first. No option sends a report without a yes.

When Kater does not answer, the CLI cannot know if Kater received the report. Run [`kater report list`](https://kater.ai/docs/cli-reference/report/list/) before you send it again.
