Re: [libvirt PATCH 05/33] ci: build.sh: Add a wrapper function executing 'shell' commands

This would normally be not needed at all, but the problem here is the Shell-in-YAML which GitLab interprets. It outputs every command that appears as a line in the 'script' segment in a color-coded fashion for easy identification of problems. Well, that useful feature is lost when there's indirection and one script calls into another in which case it would only output the respective script name which would make failure investigation harder. This simple helper tackles that by echoing the command to be run by any script/function with a color escape sequence so that we don't lose track of the *actual* shell commands being run as part of the GitLab job pipelines. An example of what the output then might look like: [RUN COMMAND]: 'meson compile -C build install-web' Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet(a)redhat.com&gt; --- ci/build.sh | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/ci/build.sh b/ci/build.sh index 02ff1a8388..d4fbf0ab37 100644 --- a/ci/build.sh +++ b/ci/build.sh @@ -25,6 +25,12 @@ meson setup build --werror -Dsystem=true $MESON_ARGS || \ ninja -C build $NINJA_ARGS +run_cmd() { + local CMD="$(echo $CMD | tr -s ' ')" # truncate any additional spaces + + printf "\e[93m[RUN COMMAND]: '%s'\e[0m\n" "$CMD"; eval "$CMD" +}
