rkd 0.3.1.dev4

Task executor - balance between Makefile and Gradle.

Task executor - balance between Makefile and Gradle [see documentation]

# via PIP
pip install rkd

# via PIPENV
pipenv install rkd

Please check available releases there: https://pypi.org/project/rkd/#history

NOTICE: This project is in testing stage. There is no stable release yet, but it will come very soon. The API can change in upcoming days.

Goals:

• Define tasks as simple as in Makefile

• Reuse code as simple as in Gradle (using extensions that provides tasks. Extensions are installable from PIP)

• Simple configuration in Python

• Write tasks code in Python as simple as possible

Rules

• No hooks eg. task.executeAfter(otherTask), no complex dependencies

• No dynamic tasks names eg. by turning on Publish component it should not create tasks eg. :publishIWAToDockerRegistry (where IWA is the project name)

• Don’t pack too many features into the core, do this in external modules. Keep the RKD core clean!

• Full static analysis, you can work on makefile.py and on task’s code in PyCharm with full code completion!

• Do early validation. Runtime validation for long running builds is a pain-in-the-ass for the user.

• Show clear error messages as much as it is possible. Task not found? Tell the user - do not leave a stack trace. Import error in makefile.py? Tell the user + add stack trace. RESPECT TIME OF ALL OF US! :)
