bld Command Line Execution Extension

To install, please refer to the extensions documentation.

To execute a command at the command line, add the following to your build file:

@BuildCommand
public void startServer() throws Exception {
    new ExecOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .command("./start.sh", "--port", "8080")
            .execute();
}

Failure Modes

Use the fail function to specify whether data returned to the standard streams and/or an abnormal exit value constitute a failure.

@BuildCommand
public void startServer() throws Exception {
    final List<String> cmds;
    if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("windows")) {
        cmds = List.of("cmd", "/c", "stop.bat");
    } else {
        cmds = List.of("./stop.sh");
    }
    new ExecOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .command(cmds)
            .fail(ExecFail.STDERR)
            .execute();
}

The following predefined values are available:

Name	Failure When
ExecFail.EXIT	Exit value > 0
ExecFail.NORMAL	Exit value > 0 or any data to the standard error stream (stderr)
ExecFail.OUTPUT	Any data to the standard output stream (stdout) or stderr.
ExecFail.STDERR	Any data to stderr.
ExecFail.STDOUT	Any data to stdout.
ExecFail.ALL	Any of the conditions above.
ExecFail.NONE	Never fails.

ExecFail.NORMAL is the default value.

Working Directory

You can also specify the working directory:

@BuildCommand
public void startServer() throws Exception {
    new ExecOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .command("touch", "foo.txt")
            .workDir(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"))
            .execute();
}

Please check the ExecOperation documentation for all available configuration options.
