Sequence

Sequence is a versatile automation framework designed to seamlessly integrate and orchestrate scripts and code snippets written in various languages. It serves as a powerful tool to connect disparate sequences of code, enabling the creation of sophisticated, cohesive automation workflows. If it can run in the terminal, you can sequence it!

Quick Start

go install github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name/cmd/cli@latest
sequence --workflow workflow.yaml

Note

Features

• Job Execution: Execute a series of jobs defined in a structured YAML file.
• Error Handling: Specify error handlers for each job, providing robust control over error management.
• Conditional Execution: Define dependencies among jobs, ensuring that certain jobs run only after their dependencies have executed successfully.
• Job Skipping: Flexibly skip certain jobs without removing them from the configuration, allowing for dynamic adjustments of the job sequence.
• Exit Control: Control the continuation or termination of the sequence when a job fails, based on the exit_on_error attribute.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.15 or later)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/arivictor/sequence.git

2. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd sequence

3. Build the application:

   go build -o sequence ./cmd/cli

Configuration Schema

Define your jobs and their properties in a YAML file. Below is a template of how the configuration should look:

jobs:
  - name: "Say Hello"
    command: "echo 'Hello World!' && exit 1"
    exit_on_error: false # quits the process on error
    success_hook: "some handler"
    error_hook: "some handler"
    skip: false

  - name: "Run JavaScript"
    command: "node hello_world.js"
    depends_on: ["Job 1"] # Won't run, depends on the first job

hooks:
  - name: "some handler"
    command: "echo 'handling success..'"

Note

See example.yaml for a more verbose example..

Running Sequence

To execute the jobs as per your configuration file (e.g., config.yaml), use the following command:

./sequence --workflow workflow.yaml

Note

1. Filepaths defined in jobs are executed relative from where the command is executed.
2. Workflows will move to the next job even if the job fails, you must explicity set exit_on_error to true if you wish the workflow to fail hard.
