no_action

An incremental automation library to eliminate toil in processes.

Description

Ideologically based on Dan Slimmon's Do-nothing scripting article from 2019. no_action provides a Step class that can be sub-classed and customized as well as a Prodecure class that wraps a series of ordered steps.

First, one writes a series of Steps with the manual details in their docstring and the procedure prints the docstrings, a glorified checklist. Over time though, with each Step encapsulated in a discrete class, Steps of a procedure can be automated by writing code that actually does what is described in the docstring (override the Step.execute() method). Soon, your procedures are fully automated and can be hooked into an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), a runner, or other automation orchestration system.
