task-jugglr-core

A very simple task runner. Basically TJ can execute a series of commands via a simple CLI. Commands file are plain JSON files with the following structure:

{
	"jobName": ...
	"outputFolder": ... [optional] if given an output is written inside the folder, with a timestamp suffix
	"vars": {
		"varName": "varValue",
		"varName": "varValue",
		"varName": "varValue",
		"varName": "varValue"
	}
	"tasks": [
		{
			"name": string -> task name
			"cmd": string -> the actual command
			"log": string -> the one line output at the task start
			"cwd": string -> current working directory
			"err": true/false -> if true the execution is blocked on error
			"alt": {
				"jobName": ...
				"tasks": ...
				...
				recursive structure, see below
			}
		}
	]
}

How to use it

After installing via npm you can call the "tj" cli with one argument. The argument should be the job file to execute. By default, the engine assumes that the current dirctory is the working directory. For every task you can specify a new one.
