How I can print something in console as a result?

[bruha]

I added following post-merge husky hook:

#!/bin/sh
. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"

npx git-pull-run -p 'package-lock.json' -c 'echo "Some packages were changed. You may run npm install to update your dependencies..."'

Then run git reset --hard HEAD~20 && git pull to test it and got the following:

...
git-pull-run Started git-pull-run@1.0.2 +0ms
git-pull-run Found 1 change for pattern 'package-lock.json' +0ms
git-pull-run Running command 'echo "Some packages were changed. You may run npm install to update your dependencies..."' for change 'package-lock.json' in directory /Users/philip/Documents/nespresso/kissui... +1ms
git-pull-run Finished git-pull-run@1.0.2 +113ms

And I just want my text as an output, how can I do so?

Hi @bruha

the command specified with -c is being executed in a separate child process and shell, that means any output is not available in the parent shell. If you add the debug flag -d (or --debug), you will also see the output from child processes:

npx git-pull-run --debug -p 'package-lock.json' -c 'echo "Some packages were changed. You may run npm install to update your dependencies..."'

Could you please try that and let me know if it works?

Nevertheless, I think what you want to achieve is a valid use case and I will implement a separate flag -e or --echo to print something into the console.

I got:

  git-pull-run:getChanges Match files with pattern 'package-lock.json': [ 'package-lock.json' ] +8ms
  git-pull-run Found 1 change for pattern 'package-lock.json' +0ms
  git-pull-run:getAbsolutePath Absolute path resolved:  +0ms
  git-pull-run Running command 'echo "Some packages were changed. You may run npm install to update your dependencies..."' for change 'package-lock.json' in directory ... +1ms
  git-pull-run:runCommand Running command 'echo "Some packages were changed. You may run npm install to update your dependencies..."' in directory +0ms
"Some packages were changed. You may run npm install to update your dependencies..."
  git-pull-run:runCommand Command executed with exit code: 0 +23ms
  git-pull-run Finished git-pull-run@1.0.2 +77ms

So yes, it would be great to have a special flag just for console output, thanks in advance @zirkelc !

Hi @bruha,

I added a flag -m (--message) to print a message to console if changes for the given pattern were found. I published the package as release candidate to NPM. Could you try it and give me feedback?

You can install it with the @next tage like npm install git-pull-run@next.

I may add some coloring to make the message more apparent and I maybe I'll add some formatting options for the message in the future.

So I updated the hook to
npx git-pull-run@next -p 'package-lock.json' -m 'Some packages were changed. You may run "npm i" to update your dependencies'

and got basically what I need 🎉

git-pull-run Started git-pull-run@1.1.1-next.2 +0ms
git-pull-run Found 1 change for pattern 'package-lock.json' +0ms
git-pull-run Some packages were changed. You may run "npm i" to update your dependencies +1ms
git-pull-run Finished git-pull-run@1.1.1-next.2 +72ms

except these annoying git-pull-run Started and git-pull-run Finished 😁
I believe they should appear only with --debug flag

[zirkelc]

Yes I agree that it is too verbose by default. I'm currently figuring out something else.

I will publish an update the next few days :-)

@bruha I published an updated version as @next. The output now looks like that if only a message -m was specified:

If a command -c or script -s was specified, these tasks will be listed separately:

Thank you ❤️
