Fastlane passed parameters from CLI are trimmed - github-actions

I am trying to pass the Pull request title as a parameter to the lane
I run this command for example
fastlane android distribute release_notes:$PR_TITLE
And I can see from the logs that the command is executed correctly with the complete title
[16:37:52]: $ bundle exec fastlane android distribute release_notes:ref: copy the services module inside app module
but when I print the passed argument I found it trimmed
desc "distribute new build for testers, set internal to true to pass it for internal testrs"
lane :distribute do |options|
print "\n"
print "release_notes"
print options[:release_notes]
which prints release_notes ref:, trimmed after the : and it even gets trimmed after newlines in a strange way

As you can see from your release_notes:string command, fastlane parses colons in a key/value format. So it will break if you pass in a string which includes a colon.
A more common pattern is to read the release notes from the environment variable within your lane. So instead of using options at all just do something like
notes = ENV['PR_TITLE']

Local variable in makefile is not expanded correctly

I have the following function in makefile:
define INSTALL_SCRIPT
SRC_DIR = $(ROOT)\src
cd $(SRC_DIR)
$(SRC_DIR)\stage.bat
endef
I also echo the steps, so here's the output of the above snippet:
$SRC_DIR = C:\project_root\src
'SRC_DIR' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
$cd
C:\project_root
\stage.bat
'\stage.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
It seems that in assignment statement the value is expanded correctly but then $(SRC_DIR) gives an error. Then cd goes to one directory up (and not src), then when I need to execute the batch file, $(SRC_DIR)'s value seems to be empty.
Assuming you're trying to do this from a recipe context, you would need to do it as follows:
define INSTALL_SCRIPT
set SRC_DIR=$(ROOT)\\src & \
cd %SRC_DIR% & \
%SRC_DIR%\\stage.bat
endef
sometarget:
#$(INSTALL_SCRIPT)
You need the \ at the end of each line to concatinate them into a single recipe line (other wise the variable you set will fall out of context when the first recipe line's shell terminates). You seem to be using windows so I believe you need to use the %varname% syntax to refer to the variables. Notice that $(ROOT) is a makefile variable in this case, so it still uses the $ syntax. (Note that if you were in bash you would need to use $$ to refer to shell variables). You also need to double the \\ in directory names, as make will interpret the first slash as an escape, and then pass a single slash to cmd.
Note that my windows machine doesn't have make installed on it, so I couldn't test the above, so it's quite possible I missed something.

Setting Jenkins build name from package.json version value

I want to include the value of the "version" parameter in package.json as part of the Jenkins build name.
I'm using the Jenkins Build Name Setter plugin - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Name+Setter+Plugin
So far I've tried to use PROPFILE syntax in the "Build name macro template" step:
${PROPFILE,file="./mainline/projectDirectory/package.json",property="\"version\""}
This successfully creates a build, but includes the quotes and comma surrounding the value of the version property in package.json, for example:
"0.0.1",
I want just the value inside returned, so it reads
0.0.1
How can I do this? Is there a different plugin that would work better for parsing package.json and getting it into the template, or should I resort to some sort of regex for removing the characters I don't want?
UPDATE:
I tried using token transforms based on reading the Token Macro Plugin documentation, but it's not working:
${PROPFILE%\"\,#\",file="./mainline/projectDirectory/package.json",property="\"version\""}
still just returns
However, using only one escaped character and only one of # or % works. No other combinations I tried work.
${PROPFILE%\,,file="./mainline/projectDirectory/package.json",property="\"version\""}
which returns "0.0.1" (comma removed)
${PROPFILE#\"%\"\,,file="./mainline/projectDirectory/package.json",property="\"version\""}
which returns "0.0.1", (no characters removed)
UPDATE:
Tried to use the new Jenkins Token Macro plugin's JSON macro with no luck.
Jenkins Build Name Setter set to update the build name with Macro:
${JSON,file="./mainline/pathToFiles/package.json",path="version"}-${P4_CHANGELIST}
Jenkins build logs for this job show:
10:57:55 Evaluated macro: 'Error processing tokens: Error while parsing action 'Text/ZeroOrMore/FirstOf/Token/DelimitedToken/DelimitedToken_Action3' at input position (line 1, pos 74):
10:57:55 ${JSON,file="./mainline/pathToFiles/package.json",path="version"}-334319
10:57:55 ^
10:57:55
10:57:55 java.io.IOException: Unable to serialize org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.impl.JsonFileMacro$ReadJSON#2707de37'
I implemented a new macro JSON, which takes a file and a path (which is the key hierarchy in the JSON for the value you want) in token-macro-2.1. You can only use a single transform per macro usage.
Try the token transformations # and % (see Token-Makro-Plugin):
${PROPFILE#"%",file="./mainline/projectDirectory/package.json",property="\"version\""}
(This will only help if you are using pipelines. But for what it's worth,..)
What works for me is a combination of readJSON from the Pipeline Utility Steps plugin and directly setting currentBuild.displayName, thusly:
script {
// readJSON from "Pipeline Utility Steps"
def packageJson = readJSON file: 'package.json'
def version = packageJson.version
echo "Setting build version: ${packageJson.version}"
currentBuild.displayName = env.BUILD_NUMBER + " - " + packageJson.version
// currentBuild.description = "other cool stuff"
}
Omitting error handling etc obvs.

printing the output of shell command from python subprocess

I am running a shell script which emits lots of line while executing...they are just status output rather than the actual output....
I want them to be displayed on a JTextArea. I am working on jython. The piece of my code looks like:
self.console=JTextArea(20,80)
cmd = "/Users/name/galaxy-dist/run.sh"
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
self.console.append(p.stdout.read())
This will wait until the command finishes and prints the output. But I want to show the realtime out put to mimic the console. Anybody have the idea ?
You're making things more complicated than they need to be. The Popen docs state the following about the stream arguments:
With the default settings of None, no redirection will occur; the child’s file handles will be inherited from the parent. [my emphasis]
Therefore, if you want the subprocess' output to go to your stdout, simply leave those arguments blank:
subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True)
In fact, you aren't using any of the more advanced features of the Popen constructor, and this particular example doesn't need any parsing by the shell, so you can simplify it further with the subprocess.call() function:
subprocess.call(cmd)
If you still want the return code, simply set a variable equal to this call:
return_code = subprocess.call(cmd)

Converting Tcl to C++

I am trying to convert some tcl script into a C++ program. I don't have much experience with tcl and am hoping someone could explain what some of the following things are actually doing in the tcl script:
1) set rtn [true_test_sfm $run_dir]
2) cd [glob $run_dir]
3) set pwd [pwd]
Is the first one just checking if true_test_sfm directory exists in run_dir?
Also, I am programming on a windows machine. Would the system function be the equivalent to exec statements in tcl? And if so how would I print the result of the system function call to stdout?
In Tcl, square brackets indicate "evaluate the code between the square brackets". The result of that evaluation is substituted for the entire square-bracketed expression. So, the first line invokes the function true_test_sfm with a single argument $run_dir; the result of that function call is then assigned to the variable rtn. Unfortunately, true_test_sfm is not a built-in Tcl function, which means it's user-defined, which means there's no way we can tell you what the effect of that function call will be based on the information you've provided here.
glob is a built-in Tcl function which takes a file pattern as an argument and then lists files that match that pattern. For example, if a directory contains files "foo", "bar" and "baz", glob b* would return a list of two files, "bar" and "baz". Therefore the second line is looking for any files that match the pattern given by $run_dir, then using the cd command (another Tcl built-in) to change to the directory found by glob. Probably $run_dir is not actually a file pattern, but an explicit file name (ie, no globbing characters like * or ? in the string), otherwise this code may break unexpectedly. On Windows, some combination of FindFirstFile/FindNextFile in C++ could be used as a substitute for glob in Tcl, and SetCurrentDirectory could substitute for cd.
pwd is another built-in Tcl function which returns the process current working directory as an absolute path. So the last line is querying the current working directory and saving the result in a variable named pwd. Here you could use GetCurrentDirectory as a substitute for pwd.

How to keep commands quiet in TCL?

How to execute set command without printing output on the screen? I want to read a file without displaying the contents on the screen.
set a [open "giri.txt" r]
set b [read $ifile]
What you're observing is just the standard behaviour of an interactive Tcl shell: each Tcl command returns a result value, and a return code. If the Tcl shell is interactive (that is, its input and output streams are connected to a terminal), after executing each command, the string representation of the result value the command returned is printed, and then the prompt is shown again. If the shell is not interactive, no results are printed and no prompt is shown.
(On a side note, such behaviour is ubiquitous with interpreters — various Unix shells, Python and Ruby interpreters do the same thing.)
If you want to inhibit such printouts in an interactive session (comes in handy from time to time), a simple hack to achieve that is to chain the command you want to "silence" with a "silent" command (producing a value whose string representation is an empty string), for instance:
set a [open "giri.txt" r]; list
Here, the list returned by the list command having no arguments is an empty list whose string representation is an empty string. In an interactive shell, this chain of commands will output literally nothing.
It bears repeating that such a hack might only ever be needed in an interactive session — do not use it in scripts.
In Mentor ModelSim Tcl it is possible to do:
quietly set answer 42
Also in Mentor Questa:
help quietly
The quietly command turns off transcript echoing for the specified command.
You can turn this off in an interactive tclsh
set tcl_interactive false
but that will also turn off the prompt.
