Run shell scripts in rust.
This library enables to invoke shell scripts based on their content.
While std::process::Command works great to execute standalone command, you need more manual code to take a script text and execute it.
For this purpose, this library was created.
Simply include the library and invoke the run function with the script text and run options:
extern crate run_script;
use run_script::ScriptOptions;
fn main() {
let mut options = ScriptOptions::new();
options.runner = None; // The script runner, for example bash. By default for windows it's cmd.exe and for other systems it is sh.
options.capture_output = true; // True to capture and return the output. False will print it to the parent process output.
options.exit_on_error = false; // Adds set -e option (not available for windows)
options.print_commands = false; // Adds set -x option (not available for windows)
let args = vec![];
let (code, output, error) = run_script::run(
r#"
echo "Directory Info:"
dir
"#,
&args,
&options
).unwrap();
println!("Exit Code: {}", code);
println!("Output: {}", output);
println!("Error: {}", error);
}The library also provides the run_script! macro for simpler usage.
#[macro_use]
extern crate run_script;
use run_script::ScriptOptions;
fn main() {
// simple call to run script with only the script text
let (code, output, error) = run_script!(
r#"
echo "Test"
exit 0
"#
).unwrap();
// run script invoked with the script text and options
let options = ScriptOptions::new();
let (code, output, error) = run_script!(
r#"
echo "Test"
exit 0
"#,
&options
).unwrap();
// run script invoked with all arguments
let options = ScriptOptions::new();
let (code, output, error) = run_script!(
r#"
echo "Test"
exit 0
"#,
&vec!["ARG1".to_string(), "ARG2".to_string()],
&options
).unwrap();
}In order to use this library, just add it as a dependency:
