Custom button in partDB part page

[AdiVacaru]

Hello,

Is it possible to have a custom button in the page which can run a python script? I would like a button in the part info page which can run custom scripts installed in the docker container.

Yes, it is possible, but I doubt that this will be implemented because of security concerns (you are effectively executing untrusted code from the Part-DB perspective).

That said, you just need to append

<br /><a class="btn btn-danger mt-2" href="{{ path('part_custom_script', {'id': part.id}) }}">Execute custom script</a>

to templates/parts/info/_tools.twig and

    #[Route(path: '/{id}/custom_script', name: 'part_custom_script')]
    public function custom_script(Part $part, Request $request): Response
    {
        // do a sensible permission check so not everyone can execute the script!
        $this->denyAccessUnlessGranted('edit', $part);

        $command = escapeshellcmd("python3 /path/to/your/script.py ".$part->getID());
        $res = shell_exec($command."; echo $?");
        $this->addFlash('success', 'script returned '.$res);
        return $this->redirectToRoute('part_info', ['id' => $part->getID()]);
    }

to src/Controller/PartController.php to achieve what you want.
This assumes that your script parses the part ID as the first commandline arg and returns a proper exit status.
