# Exit Codes

Device Cloud uses standard exit codes to indicate the status of command execution. Understanding these codes is useful for CI/CD integration and automation.

## Standard Exit Codes

### Success

```bash
0    # Command completed successfully
```

### General Errors

```bash
1    # CLI failed due to bad workspace or dcd bug
2    # Test run explicitly failed
```

{% hint style="info" %}
When using `--json` or `--json-file`, the CLI always exits 0. Test failures are communicated through the JSON output rather than the exit code.
