faterunner 0.2.0

F.. A.. Task Execution Runner

Faterunner

The fate of a task is to be run.

Or "F.. A.. Task Execution Runner". (TODO: backronym)

Parsers

Faterunner can support many configuration file formats. It will try to guess the correct configuration file.

Right now Faterunner only supports pyproject.toml format, but you can add your own file format support by implementing a parser and exposing it to faterunner.parsers entry point

[project.entry-points.'faterunner.parsers']
my-parser = 'myproject.parser:MyParser'

Pyproject

[tool.faterunner.targets]
# you can define a task as a list of commands
check = ['ruff check .', 'ruff format --check .']
format = ['ruff check --fix .', 'ruff format .']

# or you can define them as a table of {commands = ..., dependencies = ..., options = ...}
[tool.faterunner.targets.docker-build]
options = { shell = true } # inline options for the task
commands = ['docker build -t my-project:$(git rev-parse HEAD) .'] # interpolation
[tool.faterunner.targets.docker-run]
dependencies = ['docker-build'] # will run only if `docker-build` succeeded
options = { shell = true }
commands = ['docker run --rm -p 5000:5000 my-project:$(git rev-parse HEAD)']

[tool.faterunner.targets.check-and-format]
dependencies = ['check', 'format'] # task with no commands

[tool.faterunner.targets.i-have-no-mouth-and-i-must-scream]
options = { silent = true }
commands = ['echo "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"']

Options

• silent: Suppress output. (stdout and stderr)
• ignore_err: Ignore any error.
• keep_going: Keep running tasks even if some cannot be done. (like make -k ...)
• dry: Do not execute actions.
• shell: Run in a shell. (for subprocess actions)
