Usage

Execute a command

:Sample Code: .. code:: python

    from subprocrunner import SubprocessRunner

    runner = SubprocessRunner(["echo", "test"])
    print(runner)
    print(f"return code: {runner.run()}")
    print(f"stdout: {runner.stdout}")
    
    runner = SubprocessRunner(["ls", "__not_exist_dir__"])
    print(runner)
    print(f"return code: {runner.run()}")
    print(f"stderr: {runner.stderr}")

:Output: .. code::

    SubprocessRunner(command='echo test', returncode='not yet executed')
    return code: 0
    stdout: test
    
    SubprocessRunner(command='ls __not_exist_dir__', returncode='not yet executed')
    return code: 2
    stderr: ls: cannot access '__not_exist_dir__': No such file or directory

Execute a command with retries

:Sample Code: .. code:: python

    from subprocrunner import Retry, SubprocessRunner

    SubprocessRunner(command).run(retry=Retry(total=3, backoff_factor=0.2, jitter=0.2))

Raise an exception when a command execution failed

:Sample Code: .. code:: python

    import sys
    from subprocrunner import SubprocessRunner
    from subprocrunner.error import CalledProcessError

    runner = SubprocessRunner("ls not-exist-dir")

    # raise an exception at run
    try:
        runner.run(check=True)
    except CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"run(check=True): {e}\n{e.stderr}", file=sys.stderr)


    # raise an exception after run
    runner.run()
    try:
        runner.raise_for_returncode()
    except CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"raise_for_returncode(): {e}\n{e.stderr}", file=sys.stderr)

:Output: .. code::

    run(check=True): Command 'ls not-exist-dir' returned non-zero exit status 2.
    ls: cannot access 'not-exist-dir': No such file or directory

    raise_for_returncode(): Command 'ls not-exist-dir' returned non-zero exit status 2.
    ls: cannot access 'not-exist-dir': No such file or directory

dry run

Commands are not actually run when passing dry_run=True to SubprocessRunner class constructor.

:Sample Code: .. code:: python

    from subprocrunner import SubprocessRunner

    runner = SubprocessRunner("echo test", dry_run=True)
    print(runner)
    print(f"return code: {runner.run()}")
    print(f"stdout: {runner.stdout}")

:Output: .. code::

    SubprocessRunner(command='echo test', returncode='not yet executed', dryrun=True)
    return code: 0
    stdout: 

Get execution command history

:Sample Code: .. code:: python

    from subprocrunner import SubprocessRunner

    SubprocessRunner.clear_history()
    SubprocessRunner.is_save_history = True
    
    SubprocessRunner(["echo", "hoge"]).run()
    SubprocessRunner(["echo", "foo"]).run()
    
    print("\n".join(SubprocessRunner.get_history()))

:Output: .. code::

    echo hoge
    echo foo

Get a command information

.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from subprocrunner import Which
>>> which = Which("ls")
>>> which.is_exist()
True
>>> which.abspath()
'/usr/bin/ls'
>>> which
command=ls, is_exist=True, abspath=/usr/bin/ls
