A small task runner inspired by npm scripts.
Features
--------
* Use it like setuptools.
* Chain tasks with ``_pre``, ``_err``, ``_post``, ``_fin`` suffix.
* A builtin Bump task which can bump version with `semver `_.
* A small set of cross-platform CLI utils.
Installation
------------
From `pypi `__
.. code:: bash
pip install pyxcute
Usage
-----
Basic
~~~~~
Create a ``cute.py`` file:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello = 'echo hello xcute!'
)
then run:
.. code:: bash
$ cute hello
> Task: hello
> Cmd: echo hello xcute!
hello xcute!
..
If you got a "not a command" error, see `How do I make Python scripts executable? `_)
"hello" is the name of the task that should be executed. If ``cute.py`` is executed without a task name, it will run the "default" task.
Provide additional arguments:
.. code:: bash
$ cute hello 123
> Task: hello
> Cmd: echo hello xcute! 123
hello xcute! 123
The arguments will be passed into the executor, which is ``xcute.Cmd.__call__`` in this case.
Tasks
~~~~~
It can be a str:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello = 'echo hello'
)
If it match the name of another task, pyxcute will execute that task:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello = 'world', # execute "world" task when "hello" task is executed
world = 'echo I am world task'
)
Use a list:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello = ['echo task1', 'echo task2']
)
Using an Exception would make the task fail:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello = Exception("error message")
)
Use anything that is callable:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello = lambda: print('say hello')
)
Actually, when you assign a non-callable value as a task, pyXcute converts it into a callable according to its type.
Task chain
~~~~~~~~~~
Define the workflow with ``_pre``, ``_err``, ``_post``, ``_fin`` suffix:
.. code:: python
from xcute import cute
cute(
hello_pre = 'echo _pre runs before the task',
hello = 'echo say hello',
hello_err = 'echo _err runs if there is an error in task, i.e, an uncaught exception or non-zero return code',
hello_post = 'echo _post runs after the task if task successfully returned',
hello_fin = 'echo _fin always runs after _post, _err just like finally'
)
When a task is executed, the task runner try to execute ``_pre`` task first, then the task itself, then the ``_post`` task. If the task raised an exception, then it goes to the ``_err`` task. ``_fin`` task would be executed whenever the task failed or not.
Pseudo code:
.. code:: python
run(name + "_pre")
try:
run(name, args)
except Exception:
run(name + "_err")
else:
run(name + "_post")
finally:
run(name + "_fin")
Format string
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pyXcute expands the command string with ``xcute.conf`` dictionary. The expansion is happened at run-time:
.. code:: python
from xcute import conf, cute
conf["my_name"] = "world"
def change_my_name():
conf["my_name"] = "bad world"
cute(
hello = [
"echo hello {my_name}",
change_my_name,
"echo hello {my_name}"
]
)
.. code:: bash
$ cute hello
> Task: hello
> Cmd: echo hello world
hello world
> Cmd: echo hello bad world
hello bad world
Cross-platform utils
--------------------
There are some CLI utils inspired by `npm-build-tools `_, including:
* x-clean
* x-cat
* x-copy
* x-pipe
Run each command with ``-h`` to see the help message.
