Question

How to download the source code of the running application in bluemix?

Tried this solution Download Application files from Bluemix . But it's not working any more:

To install the plugin follow the below commands:

$ cf add-plugin-repo CF-Community http://plugins.cloudfoundry.org/
$ cf install-plugin cf-download -r CF-Community

Once the plugin is installed you can download the files using the command $ cf download <<APP_NAME>> [path]

Eg: $ cf download myapp

Answer 1

I think you want this API end point.

http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/253/apps/downloads_the_bits_for_an_app.html

It will let you download the app bits for your app. This is what was sent up to the application with cf push. That may or may not be your source code, depending on your build pack.

Usage:

cf curl /v2/apps/$(cf app <app-name> --guid)/download > out.zip

This should work for any modern version of CF.
