Modern task runner for PHP

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

in the end I saw no benefit to taskExec()

Dan Feder

@dafeder

I find it confusing when taskExec wraps an arg passed by arg() in single quotes and when it doesnt

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

Greg1anderson doesn't hang out here, you can find him in the #drush room on drupal slack... there's more active chat about robo there, I think

he loves to talk robo but I don't see him in here :D

Dan Feder

@dafeder

oh cool good to know

one thing i could never figure out with console was how to pass a long string as a single argument with no parsing - like if i wanted to create a wrapper command for drush

there didn't seem to be an equivilant of just passing -- here's my string --this-wont-matter

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

huh, not sure, never used that

you should be able to just create a single command string though

you don't have to use the args builder stuff if you don't want to, I think

oh wait I see what you mean,

you mean when running the CLI command with -- after it? that should be passed in as an input arg

Dan Feder

@dafeder

yes, works in robo but not in a simple console app

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

huh... You can do fun stuff by replacing the Input Argv processor class thing, that must be what robos doing

Dan Feder

@dafeder

oops docker-compose up does not actually accept -e env variables. so i do need to figure out a way to set env vars :\

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

try export= right in $command? :D

or ...

just... use... process ;)

Dan Feder

@dafeder

yep

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

anyway I have to get back to it. Would love to hear about your use case some time. I've been rewriting provision4 from scratch as a standalone CLI on robo+console, it's so much better than the legacy stuff. Since it will power aegir 4+ it has to work well with Distros, so if we are aware of what DKAN needs we can tailor it pretty directly. It actually can load Robofiles right from your site codebase, so even if you needed totally custom commands outside the scope of Provision you can. Check out https://docs.provision4.org/customizing-provision on all the ways I've made it customizable so far.

Good to see you! I'll be in austin, montreal, asheville, and govcon this summer, maybe I'll see you at one of those.

@dafeder

cool will check it out thanks for your help @jonpugh

is there a way to specify the credentials GitStack uses at runtime?

@bandanh

Hi there,
I made me a RoboFile and made that global available as an alias:

siri='robo --load-from ~/robo/RoboFile.php '

I would now like to do things based on where I am currently now. For Example:

cd /some/where/on/my/mac/
siri create:file

and that should create an file some/where/on/my/mac/myFile.txt. But what how ever I try to get the current folder, I always get the path of my RoboFile.php in ~/robo/

Any Idea how I can access get the path /some/where/on/my/mac/?

bandanh

@bandanh

Hi, I am running robo like this robo --load-from _tools/robo generate config. Now how do i get path of the directory from which the command was run?

@d34dman I think you got the same problem then I got, did you find a solution?

bandanh

@bandanh

Hmm, maybe I have to create my own .phar, put it into $PATHinstead of a alias to do that :(

Dan Feder

@dafeder

I have my commands separated into several classes - how might I run a command from one class in another class?

Hi, Can someone help me with some basic robo things I'm trying to do? (I'm new to Robo)

@verminoz

Hi everybody, thank you for a really cool tool. I just starting looking into it after I saw a presentation about it in Drupal Dev Days in Lisbon :)
I have one technical question though that has been bugging me. I cannot see any obvious way that one can get a variable with the output of the commands run. Is that possible at all?

Rotem Reiss

@rotemreiss

@verminoz yes it is.

->run()->getMessage()

If I'm not wrong

Hi, is there a way to catch the exit code in the taskExecStack()? I try to do so, but always get 1 as result.

My desired behavour is to let Robo exit with an error code or throw an exception if the command stack failed.

I have something like this:

Code

$tools = $this->taskExecStack()
    ->dir('./vendor/bin/');
$tools
    ->exec('which git')
    ->exec('echo Hallo');
$tools->run();
$this->say('Result: ' . print_r($tools->getPrinted()));

Success:

/usr/bin/git
Hallo
[ExecStack] Done in 0.002s
Result: 1

Error (one Command fails):

[ExecStack]  Exit code 1  Time 0.004s
Result: 1

I would like to catch this "Exit Code 1" message, and thought getPrinted is the correct way, but it isnt obviously.

Dan

@pixelbrackets_twitter

@pixelbrackets_twitter Ah, read the docs for taskExec and stumbled upon the wasSuccessful() example code. So I need to work with the response of the run method and do this:

$tools = $this->taskExecStack()
    ->dir('./vendor/bin/');
$tools
    ->exec('which git')
    ->exec('echo Hallo');
$result = $tools->run();
if($result->wasSuccessful() !== true) {
    $this->say('Error');
}

Solved ✔️

What is the best way to get the output of a taskExec command and put it in a variable? My taskExec runs but the output prints out in the terminal.

$this->taskExec('git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD')->dir('../public_html')->run();

@_double_twitter

What is the best way to go about setting environment variables need to a task, like https://github.com/consolidation/Robo/blob/master/src/Task/Testing/PHPUnit.php? I see there is a ::envVars() method, but not sure it is doing anything.

@_double_twitter

Robo\Common\ExecTrait::envVars() that is

Hello, are they beginner friendly issues availbale. I can't see labels for that.?

Michael Prasuhn

@mikeyp

is there a hook that I can use to run before ever command?

jesxs

@jesxs

How can I pass a variable to a suite from RoboFile?

Jon Pugh

@jonpugh

@jesxs What do you mean suite, like a test suite?

@mikeyp would __contruct() work? :)

Does anyone know if there is a Robo MySQL Extension? I have used the Robo Drush Extension to do backups on Drupal sites, but now I have a non-Drupal site that I am thinking to make a RoboFile.php for that would do backups.

Interesting that the Robo project has moved from Codegyre/Robo to consolidation/Robo but this Gitter channel still shows the old name.

Good morning! I looked into Robo and pretty much like the collection of tasks and ready to use commands. However, I don't want to have Robo manage the console (input, output) when executing a run but rather integrate execution of a chain of tasks into my own Symfony console. Is that possible and documented somehow?

Sébastien Monterisi

@SebSept

hello, is it possible to remove or hide the demo commands (try:xx) ?

(I use autocompletion, to this commands are annoying when I'm searching for the commands I've implemented)
