DESCRIPTION

Run a script written with cme DSL (Design specific language) or in plain Perl.

A script passed by name is searched in ~/.cme/scripts, /etc/cme/scripts or /usr/share/perl5/Config/Model/scripts. E.g. with cme run foo, cme loads either ~/.cme/scripts/foo, /etc/cme/scripts/foo or /usr/share/perl5/Config/Model/scripts/foo

No search is done if the script is passed with a path (e.g. cme run ./foo)

cme run can also run plain Perl script. This is syntactic sugar to avoid polluting global namespace, i.e. there's no need to store a script using cme function in /usr/local/bin/.

When run, this script:

  • opens the configuration file of app

  • applies the modifications specified with load instructions

  • save the configuration files

  • commits the result if commit is specified.

See App::Cme::Command::run for details.

Syntax

The script accepts instructions in the form:

 key: value

The script accepts the following instructions:

app

Specify the target application. Must be one of the application listed by cme list command. Mandatory. Only one app instruction is allowed.

var

Use Perl code to specify variables usable in this script. The Perl code must store data in %var hash. For instance:

    perl: my @l = localtime; $var{year} =  $l[5]+1900;

The hash %args contains the variables passed with the -arg option. Reading a value from %args which is set by the user triggers an error.

load

Specify the modifications to apply using a string as specified in Config::Model::Loader

commit

Specify that the change must be committed with the passed commit message. When this option is used, cme raises an error if used on a non-clean workspace. This option works only with git.

All instructions can use variables like $stuff whose value can be specified with -arg options, with a Perl variable (from var: section explained above) or with an environment variable:

For instance:

  cme run -arg var1=foo -arg var2=bar

transforms the instruction:

  load: ! a=$var1 b=$var2

in

  load: ! a=foo b=bar

Options

list

List available scripts and exits.

arg

Arguments for the cme scripts which are used to substitute variables.

doc

Show the script documentation. (Note that --help options show the documentation of cme run command)

Common options

See "Global Options" in cme.

Examples

 $ cat ~/.cme/scripts/update-copyright
 app: dpkg-copyright
 load: Files:~ Copyright=~"s/2016,?\s+$name/2017, $name/g"
 commit: updated copyright year of $name
 $ cme run update-copyright -arg "name=Dominique Dumont"
