TTPForge Actions: inline

By default, the inline action runs the provided shell command in a new instance of the bash shell:

https://github.com/facebookincubator/TTPForge/blob/7634dc65879ec43a108a4b2d44d7eb2105a2a4b1/example-ttps/actions/inline/basic.yaml#L1-L21

You can experiment with the above TTP by installing the examples TTP repository (skip this if ttpforge list repos shows that the examples repo is already installed):

ttpforge install repo https://github.com/facebookincubator/TTPForge --name examples

and then running the below command:

ttpforge run examples//actions/inline/basic.yaml

Fields

You can specify the following YAML fields for the inline: action:

• inline: (type: string) the command that you want to run.
• executor: (type: string) the program that should run your command. The program you specify will be launched and your command will be sent to its STDIN. Default: bash.

Notes

Key things to remember about inline: actions:

• By default, inline passes -o errexit to the bash executor, meaning that the failure of any single command will terminate the step and start cleanup. This prevents silent failures and makes TTPs more reliable.
• Each separate inline action instance runs in its own shell. Sharing shell variables between different inline steps is not supported yet.
