fruit 0.1.7

Create and run automations based on yaml files

The readme is under development…

Roadmap

• yaml syntax checking for step types

• step type: fruit to ripen a fruit inside a ripening

• better documentation

• implement unit tests

The fruits

The fruits (fruit.yaml) are the pipeline configuration files. They contain all the necessary information to execute commands, use global variables and list expansions.

Name

Each fruit needs a name, which will identify the project the fruit belongs to. To set the project name, use the following syntax:

name: My Project Name

Description

The description field shall contain a longer description of the project, its goal and the jobs defined in the fruit file. To set the description, use the following sytnax:

desc: Create automated builds, package documentation, etc...

Global variables

It is possible to define global variables in the fruit file, which will be substituted during the yaml loading.

To create a global variable, add a new key-value pair to the list glob.

glob:
  libpath: /usr/lib/
  binpath: $(libpath)bin

After the global variable is created it can be referenced with the sytax $(<name>).

It’s important to note, that global variables are propagated only downwards. As a consequence of this they affect:

• global variables define below,

• lists,

• step commands,

• step arguments.
