# Introduction



Automation tool using tmux and panes. Wrapper to some of the tmux commands to make

automation scripts 



refer [test.sh](test.sh) for example



## Usage



Prepare a config file taking [testsetup.cfg](testsetup.cfg) as reference. Set all mandatory values.

Then use below steps in your scripts



```

source 

source 

```



Its mandatory to source `automux.sh` in all scripts.



Now you can call any of the below functions. `automux_*_exec_*` functions support multiple commands

as inputs which gets executed on any pane, take [test.sh](test.sh) as a reference



## Automux Onetime functions



### automux_init



This API enables automux infra and opens all the panes as per the config.



> Dont use it multiple times.

> This must be first function to call before calling any `automux_*` APIs



Calling this in an init script and souring it would be suggested if you have multiple scripts to

run using automux. This way all the config params are exported to environment to reuse.



### automux_clean



Closes all opened panes, cleans all temporary files created by automux, run this at last after 

completing everything. As it closes every pane abruptly, its upto user to kill processes or close

all open connections in any panes before calling this function



## Automux select pane functions



### automux_on



Use this function to change active pane, all following automux functions runs commands on the

selected pane using this function



> Params

> - $1 - pane name this should be the one from configuration variable PANES



## Naming convention of APIs

Keywords in APIs and their meaning



|Keyword| Description|

|---|---|

|`wait` | These APIs uses the given delay in between |

|`out` | These APIs dump output of commands on console |

|`expect` | These APIs run the given commands and expect given string in output |

|`bg` | These APIs run the given commands in background |



## Automux APIs

Below functions runs the commands on PANE selected by `automux_on` API



All APIs take one or more commands as space separated strings, these commands gets executed on 

selected pane refer [test.sh](test.sh) 



### automux_exec



execute given commands



> Params

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_play_keys



Send given keys one by one to target pane, usefull for minicom kind consoles

keys must be in tmux compatible format



> Params

> - List of Keys(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_wait



execute given commands with a given delay in between



> Params

> - $1 is delay in seconds to use after every command

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_expect



execute given commands and waits untill expected string is 

obtained on last line of the output



NOTE: Use this when the given string is exact match at the end of output



> Params

> - $1 is expected string at the last line of the output

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_expect_out



execute given commands and waits untill expected string is 

obtained on last line of the output



NOTE: Use this when the given string is exact match at the end of output



Also dumps output to console



> Params

> - $1 is expected string at the last line of the output

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_expect_prompt



execute given commands and waits untill prompt is obtained



> Params

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_expect_prompt_out



execute given commands and waits untill prompt is obtained



Also dumps output to current pane



> Params

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_expect_substr



execute given commands and checks for given string is present at any place in last line of output



> Params

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_expect_substr_out



execute given commands and checks for given string is present at any place in last line of output



Also dumps output to current pane



> Params

> - $1 is expected string at any place of the last line of the output

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_findstr



execute given commands and waits till given string obtained any where in the output



> Params

> - $1 is expected string at any place of the last line of the output

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_findstr_out



execute given commands and waits till given string obtained any where in the output



Also dumps output to current pane



> Params

> - $1 is expected string at any place of the whole output log

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_out



execute given commands and dumps output on console



NOTE: Output gets printed after execution of all commands



> Params

> - $1 is expected string at any place of the whole output log

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_exec_wait_out



execute given commands with the given delay in between, and dumps output on console



NOTE: Output gets printed after execution of all commands



> Params

> - $1 is delay in seconds to use after every command

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_bg_exec_***



These are background variants of all above APIs

Whick execute given commands in background

Becarefull while exiting without completion of all invoked bg tasks.



Use `wait` command in any script which uses these APIs. This ensures the completion of all 

background tasks.



> Params

> - List of Command(s) to execute.



### automux_log_dump



dump the whole console histoy to specified file or stdout
