# List Connections

Lists all Power Platform connections in the current environment using the Power Apps CLI.

## Workflow

1. Fetch Connections → 2. Present Results

---

### Step 1: Fetch Connections

> Resolve the CLI first (see [cli-binary.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/cli-binary.md)): run as `$PA connection list` (`npx --no-install pa ...`), never a bare `pa`. On `power-apps`-only projects, translate to `power-apps list-connections`.

```bash
pa connection list
```

If the CLI is not authenticated, it will open a browser for login automatically. Complete the login and retry.

**Other failures:**
- Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: Report the exact output. STOP.
- No output or empty results: Verify the correct environment ID is set in `power.config.json`, then retry once.

### Step 2: Present Results

Show the connection list to the user. The **Connection ID** is what goes into `-c <connection-id>` when adding a data source.

**If the needed connector is missing:**

1. Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (from `power.config.json` or a prior step): `https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections` → **+ New connection**
2. Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in/consent flow
3. Re-run `/list-connections` to get the new connection ID
