Doer
Doer is simple task runner that uses the TOML file format for configuration.
Installation
cargo install doer
Usage
By default, Doer will run the default
step.
Example:
doer
This will run the default
step. This can be changed by passing in a different step, or with the default
key in the build.toml
file.
Example:
doer build
This will run the build
step.
You can also pass in a different file to use for configuration.
Example:
doer --file build.toml build
This will run the build
step in the build.toml
file.
Configuration
Doer uses a TOML file for configuration. The default location is ./build.toml
but this can be changed with the --file
option.
A simple example:
[step.default]
command = "echo 'Hello, world!'"
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
This will run echo 'Hello, world!'
by default, but if you run doer --task build
it will run cargo build
.
Steps
Steps are the tasks that Doer will run. They are defined in the step
table. Each step has a name, which is used to identify it and a command
key, which is the command that will be run.
Example:
[step.run]
command = "cargo run"
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
This will run cargo run
when the run
step is run, and cargo build
when the build
step is run.
Default step
The default step is the step that will be run if no step is specified. By default, this is the default
step.
Example:
[step.default]
command = "echo 'Hello, world!'"
This will run echo 'Hello, world!'
by default. If you want to change the default step, you can use the default
key in the build.toml
file.
Example:
default = "build"
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
Dependencies
Steps can depend on other steps by using the depends
key.
Example:
[step.run]
command = "cargo run"
depends = ["build"]
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
This will run cargo build
before running cargo run
. If the build
step fails, the run
step will not run.
Environment variables
Environment variables can be set in the env
table for each step.
Example:
[step.run]
command = "cargo run"
env = { RUST_LOG = "debug" }
This will run cargo run
with the RUST_LOG
environment variable set to debug
.
Step groups
A step doesn't have to have a command
key. Instead, it can just have a depends
key, which is a list of steps that will be run. This is useful for grouping steps together.
Example:
[step.default]
depends = ["build", "release"]
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
[step.release]
command = "cargo build --release"
This will run both cargo build
and cargo build --release
when the default
step is run.
Asynchronous steps
Steps can be run asynchronously by setting the async
key to true
.
Example:
[step.default]
depends = ["build", "release"]
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
async = true
[step.release]
command = "cargo build --release"
async = true
This will run cargo build
and cargo build --release
at the same time.
A step can also force all of its dependencies to run synchronously by setting the in-order
key to true
.
Example:
[step.default]
depends = ["build", "release"]
in-order = true
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
async = true
[step.release]
command = "cargo build --release"
async = true
This will run cargo build
and cargo build --release
one after the other, even though they are both asynchronous steps.
Cross file dependencies
Steps can depend on other steps in other files by depending on the directory name and the step name, or optionally just the directory name to run the default step.
Example:
# build.toml
[step.default]
depends = ["web", "api"]
[step.build]
depends = ["web:build", "api:build"]
# web/build.toml
[step.default]
command = "echo 'web default'"
[step.build]
command = "trunk build"
async = true
# api/build.toml
[step.default]
command = "echo 'api default'"
[step.build]
command = "cargo build"
async = true
In this example, the default step in build.toml
depends on the default step in web/build.toml
and the default step in api/build.toml
while the build
step in build.toml
depends on the build
step in web/build.toml
and the build
step in api/build.toml
.
