Development.Shake.Command

Description

This module provides functions for calling command line programs, primarily command and cmd. As a simple example:

command [] "gcc" ["-c",myfile]

The functions from this module are now available directly from Development.Shake. You should only need to import this module if you are using the cmd function in the IO monad.

Synopsis

Documentation

command :: CmdResult r => [CmdOption] -> String -> [String] -> Action r Source #

Execute a system command. Before running command make sure you need any files that are used by the command.

This function takes a list of options (often just [], see CmdOption for the available options), the name of the executable (either a full name, or a program on the $PATH) and a list of arguments. The result is often (), but can be a tuple containg any of Stdout, Stderr and Exit. Some examples:

command_ [] "gcc" ["-c","myfile.c"]                          -- compile a file, throwing an exception on failure
Exit c <- command [] "gcc" ["-c",myfile]                     -- run a command, recording the exit code
(Exit c, Stderr err) <- command [] "gcc" ["-c","myfile.c"]   -- run a command, recording the exit code and error output
Stdout out <- command [] "gcc" ["-MM","myfile.c"]            -- run a command, recording the output
command_ [Cwd "generated"] "gcc" ["-c",myfile]               -- run a command in a directory

Unless you retrieve the ExitCode using Exit, any ExitFailure will throw an error, including the Stderr in the exception message. If you capture the Stdout or Stderr, that stream will not be echoed to the console, unless you use the option EchoStdout or EchoStderr.

If you use command inside a do block and do not use the result, you may get a compile-time error about being unable to deduce CmdResult. To avoid this error, use command_.

By default the stderr stream will be captured for use in error messages, and also echoed. To only echo pass WithStderr False, which causes no streams to be captured by Shake, and certain programs (e.g. gcc) to detect they are running in a terminal.

command_ :: [CmdOption] -> String -> [String] -> Action () Source #

A version of command where you do not require any results, used to avoid errors about being unable to deduce CmdResult.

cmd :: CmdArguments args => args :-> Action r Source #

Execute a system command. Before running cmd make sure you need any files that are used by the command.

  • String arguments are treated as whitespace separated arguments.
  • [String] arguments are treated as literal arguments.
  • CmdOption arguments are used as options.

As some examples, here are some calls, and the resulting command string:

cmd_ "git log --pretty=" "oneline"           -- git log --pretty= oneline
cmd_ "git log --pretty=" ["oneline"]         -- git log --pretty= oneline
cmd_ "git log" ("--pretty=" ++ "oneline")    -- git log --pretty=oneline
cmd_ "git log" ("--pretty=" ++ "one line")   -- git log --pretty=one line
cmd_ "git log" ["--pretty=" ++ "one line"]   -- git log "--pretty=one line"

More examples, including return values, see this translation of the examples given for the command function:

cmd_ "gcc -c myfile.c"                                         -- compile a file, throwing an exception on failure
Exit c <- cmd "gcc -c" [myfile]                              -- run a command, recording the exit code
(Exit c, Stderr err) <- cmd "gcc -c myfile.c"                -- run a command, recording the exit code and error output
Stdout out <- cmd "gcc -MM myfile.c"                         -- run a command, recording the output
cmd (Cwd "generated") "gcc -c" [myfile] :: Action ()         -- run a command in a directory

When passing file arguments we use [myfile] so that if the myfile variable contains spaces they are properly escaped.

If you use cmd inside a do block and do not use the result, you may get a compile-time error about being unable to deduce CmdResult. To avoid this error, use cmd_.

The cmd function can also be run in the IO monad, but then Traced is ignored and command lines are not echoed. As an example:

cmd (Cwd "generated") Shell "gcc -c myfile.c" :: IO ()

cmd_ :: (CmdArguments args, Unit args) => args :-> Action () Source #

See cmd. Same as cmd except with a unit result. cmd is to cmd_ as command is to command_.

unit :: m () -> m () #

The identity function which requires the inner argument to be (). Useful for functions with overloaded return types.

\(x :: Maybe ()) -> unit x == x

class CmdArguments t where Source #

The arguments to cmd - see cmd for examples and semantics.

A type annotation, equivalent to the first argument, but in variable argument contexts, gives a clue as to what return type is expected (not actually enforced).

Constructors

Cwd FilePath

Change the current directory in the spawned process. By default uses this processes current directory.

Env [(String, String)]

Change the environment variables in the spawned process. By default uses this processes environment.

AddEnv String String

Add an environment variable in the child process.

RemEnv String

Remove an environment variable from the child process.

AddPath [String] [String]

Abort the computation after N seconds, will raise a failure exit code. Calls interruptProcessGroupOf and terminateProcess, but may sometimes fail to abort the process and not timeout.

WithStdout Bool

Should I include the stdout in the exception if the command fails? Defaults to False.

WithStderr Bool

Should I include the stderr in the exception if the command fails? Defaults to True.

EchoStdout Bool

Should I echo the stdout? Defaults to True unless a Stdout result is required or you use FileStdout.

EchoStderr Bool

Should I echo the stderr? Defaults to True unless a Stderr result is required or you use FileStderr.

FileStdout FilePath

Should I put the stdout to a file.

FileStderr FilePath

Should I put the stderr to a file.

addPath :: MonadIO m => [String] -> [String] -> m CmdOption Source #

Deprecated: Use AddPath. This function will be removed in a future version.

Add a prefix and suffix to the $PATH environment variable. For example:

opt <- addPath ["/usr/special"] []
cmd opt "userbinary --version"

Would prepend /usr/special to the current $PATH, and the command would pick /usr/special/userbinary, if it exists. To add other variables see addEnv.

addEnv :: MonadIO m => [(String, String)] -> m CmdOption Source #

Deprecated: Use AddEnv. This function will be removed in a future version.

Add a single variable to the environment. For example:

opt <- addEnv [("CFLAGS","-O2")]
cmd opt "gcc -c main.c"

Would add the environment variable $CFLAGS with value -O2. If the variable $CFLAGS was already defined it would be overwritten. If you wish to modify $PATH see addPath.
