Execute (Shell & JavaScript)

Plugin allows to invoke any shell command.
Available actions:
​exec - execute single command
​shell - execute shell script
​fn - execute JS function
Action Handler: Shell Command
Invoice single shell command.
ID: com.fireblink.fbl.exec
Aliases:
fbl.exec
exec
Example:
exec:
  # executable to invoke
  command: 'echo'
​
  # additional executable arguments, note "command" cannot have arguments in its value, just executable alias or path to it
  args:
    - 'test'
​
  # [optional] working directory to run command from.
  # Default value: flow's folder
  wd: <%- cwd %>
​
  # [optional] options
  options:
    # [optional] if provided "stdout" will be included inside assigned object to proviced "ctx" and/or "secrets" name
    stdout: true
    # [optional]  if provided "stderr" will be included inside assigned object to proviced "ctx" and/or "secrets" name
    stderr: true
    # [optional] if provided - stdout and stderr will be logged in report and printed to console
    verbose: false
​
  # [optional] assign execution result {code: 0-255, stdout?: string, stderr?: string }
  assignResultTo: # follows common assignment logic practicies https://fbl.fireblink.com/plugins/common#assign-to
​
  # [optional] push execution result {code: 0-255, stdout?: string, stderr?: string }
  pushResultTo: # follows common push logic practicies https://fbl.fireblink.com/plugins/common#push-to
Action Handler: Shell Script
Invoke shell script. While it gives a more convinient way to integrate shell scripts into the flow it also makes your flow less platform agnostic.
ID: com.fireblink.fbl.shell
Aliases:
fbl.shell
shell
Example:
shell:
  # shell executable
  executable: '/bin/bash'
​
  # script to be invoked
  script: |-
    cd /tmp
    touch test.txt
​
  # [optional] working directory to run script from.
  # Default value: flow's folder
  wd: <%- cwd %>
​
  # [optional] options
  options:
    # [optional] if provided "stdout" will be included inside assigned object to proviced "ctx" and/or "secrets" name
    stdout: true
    # [optional] if provided "stderr" will be included inside assigned object to proviced "ctx" and/or "secrets" name
    stderr: true
    # [optional] if provided - stdout and stderr will be logged in report and printed to console
    verbose: false
​
  # [optional] assign execution result {code: 0-255, stdout?: string, stderr?: string }
  assignResultTo: # follows common assignment logic practicies https://fbl.fireblink.com/plugins/common#assign-to
​
  # [optional] push execution result {code: 0-255, stdout?: string, stderr?: string }
  ushResultTo: # follows common push logic practicies https://fbl.fireblink.com/plugins/common#push-to
Action Handler: Function
Allows to invoke custom JavaScript script (ES6). Script has access to all context variables:
cwd
ctx
secrets
parameters
iteration
But also to Node.js require function and can interact with awailable node modules. Though, it is recomended to use fbl plugins instead.
ID: com.fireblink.fbl.function
Aliases:
fbl.function
function
function()
fn
fn()
Example: Direct Changes
# Action handler expects valid JS function content string.
#
# Note: script is wrapped into async function, so you can "await" promises inside it
# if you need to do some long running operations.
fn: |-
  ctx.isWindows = require('os').platform() === 'win32';
Example: Overrides
Alternativelly function can return object that will be used to override entire state of context and parameters fields.
fn: |-
  return {
    cwd: '/tmp',
    ctx: {
      test: true
    }      
  }
fn: |-
  return {
    secrets: {
      test: true
    },
    parameters: {
      p1: ctx.p2
    }
  }
