Jorun

Jorun is a task runner written in python, supporting windows and linux and configurable through a YML file

Install and run

pip install jorun

Usage

# usage: jorun [-h] [--level LEVEL] [--file-output FILE_OUTPUT] configuration_file
# 
# A smart task runner
# 
# positional arguments:
#   configuration_file    The yml configuration file to run
# 
# options:
#  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
#  --level LEVEL         The log level (DEBUG, INFO, ...)
#  --file-output FILE_OUTPUT
#                        Log tasks output to files, one per task. This option lets you specify the directory of the log files
#  --gui                 Force running with the graphical interface
#  --no-gui              Force running without the graphical interface

jorun ./conf.yml

This sample YML file shows three task types you can run:

  • Shell: a task launching a shell command
  • Docker: a task optimized for docker containers
  • Group: a task that groups other tasks. Used when you have a lot of tasks with the same dependencies, to avoid writing all of them every time

The task runner supports searching for a pattern in the task output to signal its completion. This way you can start a dependent task after the pattern shows up in the task output.

Tasks are chained through dependencies. The first tasks to run are the ones without dependencies. If you declare one or more dependencies, the task will not run until all the dependencies are either:

  • completed (i.e. the task finished executing), by default
  • the completion pattern is matched (the regex pattern matched a line of the task output), if you set a completion_pattern
  • launched, if you set the run_mode to indefinite

GUI

If you run Jorun with the --gui command line option, or if you specify the gui option in the yaml configuration you can start the tool with a graphical interface. The GUI is still a prototype, but will let you keep track of the task logs individually and even filter the log rows.

The gui section in the YML configuration is where you can specify the panes you want displayed, and for each pane you can set the tasks that belong to it and the maximum number of columns visible in the pane.

For instance, let's say you have 10 tasks in which you have 4 databases, 4 REST services, and 2 queues. You then have this GUI configuration:

gui:
  panes:
    databases:
      tasks:
        - postgres
        - redis
        - mongo
        - cassandra
      columns: 2
    services:
      tasks:
        - auth
        - orders
        - customers
        - shipments
      columns: 4
    pubsub:
      tasks:
        - rabbitmq
        - kafka
      columns: 1
  palette: hacker

The first pane will display the 4 databases in a resizable grid of 2 rows and 2 columns. The second pane will display the services in a single row of 4 columns. The last pane will display the two services in a single column of 2 rows.
