Overview below is a copy from the original tox-backtocks README.md:
tox-backtocks
A refreshed backticks tox plugin
This is a very early stage release. Use it at your own risks.
Here’s the roadmap to 1.0 release and our current status:
- [x] define a backquote var in set_env with a
backquoted expression (and nothing else) and evaluate it through bash, inside the tox virtual environment.
[x] Make of a backquote var usable in commands section.
- [x] Allow another variable to be referenced inside the
backquoted expression
- [x] Strip the trailing newline characters of the
backquoted expression
- [ ] Allow user configure the evaluation of backquote expression
to be with a shell or not (either fork the command directly, either fork a shell and evaluate a possible-complex shell expression)
- [ ] Allow a backquote var value to contain regular string parts
and a backquote expression
- [ ] Allow a backquote var value to contain more than one
backquote expression
- [ ] Allow user to configure if we should strip the trailing newline
characters or not.
- [x] Allow another variable to reuse the evaluated
backquoted expression
- [x] Allow another variable to reuse the evaluated
backquoted expression without reevaluating it :) (I mean, it’s hacked, but heh, better than nothing)
- [x] If evaluating through a shell, automatically add said shell to
allowlist_externals section
- [x] Use the command string as is if 1st character in the command string
is the + char (immediately after initial backtick). Bypasses the use of shlex.split() before handing off to tox_env.execute().
[x] Have a working package
[ ] Write user documentation
