clicast

Broadcast messages for CLI tools, such as a warning for critical bug or notification about new features.

Quick Start Tutorial

As easy as 1-2-3:

1. Install:

   pip install clicast

2. Create your own cast file and make it accessible as an URL. I.e. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxzheng/clicast/master/test/example.cast

   cast "New Message" -f example.cast
   # See 'cast -h' for more options to edit cast file

3. Import and call check_message:

   from clicast import check_message
   
   def main():
       check_message('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxzheng/clicast/master/test/example.cast',
                     allow_exit=True,
                     header='=' * 80,
                     footer='=' * 80)

CLI Example

Don’t even want to write the bin script to try? I got you covered! :)

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxzheng/clicast/master/bin/cast-example
$ chmod +x cast-example

If you run cast-example for the first time, you will see:

$ ./cast-example

================================================================================
Hello World! Pass in '-f' to see message targeted for that option

And run it again:

$ ./cast-example
================================================================================
We found a big bad bug. Please try not to step on it!! Icky...
No worries. It will be fixed soon! :)
================================================================================
Hello World! Pass in '-f' to see message targeted for that option

And now with -f option:

$ ./cast-example -f
================================================================================
We found a big bad bug. Please try not to step on it!! Icky...
No worries. It will be fixed soon! :)

A bug that affects the -f option. (applies only if `clicast.filters.match_cli_args` filter is used)
================================================================================
Hello World! Pass in '-f' to see message targeted for that option

That’s it!
