Deps

Deps is a utility to execute commands on multiple projects.

It is meant to be used along with conda devenv: https://github.com/ESSS/conda-devenv, as such, it reads the contents of the includes sections of environment.devenv.yml, which contains the relative paths of the dependencies where commands should be executed.

Examples

deps inv codegen will run inv codegen on the projects and its dependencies sequentially, respecting dependencies.

deps inv codegen -j 16 will run inv codegen on the projects and its dependencies with paralelization, but respecting dependencies (so, it'll only run in parallel commands after their own requisites have been fullfiled).

deps inv codegen -j 16 --jobs-unordered will run inv codegen on the projects and its dependencies with full-paralelization, without respecting any particular order.

GitHub Actions

Since version 1.3.1, deps will automatically print ::group:: and ::endgroup:: markers when running in GitHub actions, which makes for better experience when visualizing the logs.

It detects this by the presence of the GITHUB_WORKSPACE environment variable.

DEPS_WORK_DIR

Since version 1.4.0, each deps invocation will create an empty temporary directory which can be used as a "work/staging area" by executing code. This has many possible uses:

Caching the conda environment used for the deps invocation by writing it to a file in $DEPS_WORK_DIR.
Check if a certain operation has already been executed in the current deps invocation, say running a per-repository operation only once (for example pre-commit), by writing some to a file in $DEPS_WORK_DIR.

deps is responsible for creating a unique directory for each invocation (each invocation uses a different name), so even different deps processes running at the same time will not step on each other's toes.

Usage

Program to list development dependencies of conda-devenv projects, or to execute a command for each dependency:

deps [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]...

To list project dependencies of the project in the current directory, one per line:

deps

It is possible to pass -p directory to find the first ancestor of directory containing an environment.devenv.yml file:

deps -p mylib10 -p myotherlib20

This may be used in combination with shell commands (useful for sourceing files), e.g., to iterate on dependencies in windows (cmd):

for %%i in ('deps -p mylib10') do <something> %%i [...]

To iterate on dependencies in unix (bash):

deps | xargs -0 -I {} <something> {} [...]

To use deps to execute a command for each dependency (will spawn a new shell for each dependency):

deps [parameters] <command>

To prevent deps to process any option or flags passed to command a "--" can be used:

deps [parameters] -- <command> --with --flags

<command> may contain some variables:

{name}: The dependency bare name (ex.: eden)
{abs}: The dependency absolute path (ex.: X:\ws\eden)

If the option --require-file is used dependencies not having a file named as this relative to the given dependency root directory are skipped:

deps --require-file Makefile -- make clean

When passing parameters that can be used multiple times through environment variable use the operational system path separator (windows=";", linux=":") to separate multiple entries:

Windows: set DEPS_IGNORE_PROJECT=old_project;fuzzy_project
Linux: export DEPS_IGNORE_PROJECT=old_project:fuzzy_project

This is equivalent to pass --ignore-project=old_project --ignore-project=fuzzy_project.

Options Description:

--version

Show the version and exit.
-p, --project PATH

Project to find dependencies of (can be used multiple times).
-pp, --pretty-print

Pretty print dependencies in a tree.
-f, --require-file TEXT

Only run the command if the file exists (relative to dependency working directory).
--here

Do not change working dir.
-n, --dry-run

Do not execute, only print what will be executed.
-v, --verbose

Print more information.
--continue-on-failure

Continue processing commands even when one fail (if some command fail the return value will be non zero).
-i, --ignore-project PATH

Project name to ignore when looking for dependencies and will not recurse into those projects. Instead of passing this option an environment variable with the name DEPS_IGNORE_PROJECT can be used (can be used multiple times).
-s, --skip-project PATH

Project name to skip execution but still look for its dependencies. Instead of passing this option an environment variable with the name DEPS_SKIP_PROJECT can be used (can be used multiple times).
--force-color / --no-force-color

Always use colors on output (by default it is detected if running on a terminal). If file redirection is used ANSI escape sequences are output even on windows. Instead of passing this option an environment variable with the name DEPS_FORCE_COLOR can be used.
--repos

Instead of projects the enumeration procedure will use the containing repositories instead of projects them selves.
-j, --jobs INTEGER

Run commands in parallel using multiple processes.
--jobs-unordered

Will run jobs without any specific order (useful if dependencies are not important and jobs > 1 to run more jobs concurrently).
--deps-reversed

Will run with a reversed dependency (only used if --jobs=1). Useful to identify where the order is important.
--help

Show this message and exit.
