exec

Modules are deprecated and will be removed in version 0.14. Please use action-based configuration instead. See the 0.12 to Bonsai migration guide for details.

Description

A general-purpose module for executing commands in your shell. This can be a useful escape hatch if no other module type fits your needs, and you just need to execute something (as opposed to deploy it, track its status etc.).

By default, the exec module type executes the commands in the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/). By setting local: true, the commands are executed in the module source directory instead.

Note that Garden does not sync the source code for local exec modules into the Garden build directory. This means that include/exclude filters and ignore files are not applied to local exec modules, as the filtering is done during the sync.

Below is the full schema reference. For an introduction to configuring Garden modules, please look at our Configuration guide.

The first section contains the complete YAML schema, and the second section describes each schema key.

exec modules also export values that are available in template strings. See the Outputs section below for details.

Complete YAML Schema

The values in the schema below are the default values.

kind: Module

# The type of this module.
type:

# The name of this module.
name:

# Specify how to build the module. Note that plugins may define additional keys on this object.
build:
  # A list of modules that must be built before this module is built.
  dependencies:
    - # Module name to build ahead of this module.
      name:

      # Specify one or more files or directories to copy from the built dependency to this module.
      copy:
        - # POSIX-style path or filename of the directory or file(s) to copy to the target.
          source:

          # POSIX-style path or filename to copy the directory or file(s), relative to the build directory.
          # Defaults to the same as source path.
          target:

  # Maximum time in seconds to wait for build to finish.
  timeout: 600

  # The command to run to perform the build.
  #
  # By default, the command is run inside the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/<module-name>).
  # If the top level `local` directive is set to `true`, the command runs in the module source directory instead.
  command: []

# If set to true, Garden will run the build command, services, tests, and tasks in the module source directory,
# instead of in the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/<module-name>).
#
# Garden will therefore not stage the build for local modules. This means that include/exclude filters
# and ignore files are not applied to local modules, except to calculate the module/action versions.
#
# If you use use `build.dependencies[].copy` for one or more build dependencies of this module, the copied files
# will be copied to the module source directory (instead of the build directory, as is the default case when
# `local = false`).
#
# Note: This maps to the `buildAtSource` option in this module's generated Build action (if any).
local: false

# A description of the module.
description:

# Set this to `true` to disable the module. You can use this with conditional template strings to disable modules
# based on, for example, the current environment or other variables (e.g. `disabled: ${environment.name == "prod"}`).
# This can be handy when you only need certain modules for specific environments, e.g. only for development.
#
# Disabling a module means that any services, tasks and tests contained in it will not be deployed or run. It also
# means that the module is not built _unless_ it is declared as a build dependency by another enabled module (in which
# case building this module is necessary for the dependant to be built).
#
# If you disable the module, and its services, tasks or tests are referenced as _runtime_ dependencies, Garden will
# automatically ignore those dependency declarations. Note however that template strings referencing the module's
# service or task outputs (i.e. runtime outputs) will fail to resolve when the module is disabled, so you need to make
# sure to provide alternate values for those if you're using them, using conditional expressions.
disabled: false

# Specify a list of POSIX-style paths or globs that should be regarded as the source files for this module. Files that
# do *not* match these paths or globs are excluded when computing the version of the module, when responding to

#
# Note that you can also _exclude_ files using the `exclude` field or by placing `.gardenignore` files in your source
# tree, which use the same format as `.gitignore` files. See the [Configuration Files
# guide](https://docs.garden.io/using-garden/configuration-overview#including-excluding-files-and-directories) for
# details.
#
# Also note that specifying an empty list here means _no sources_ should be included.

# Note that you can also explicitly _include_ files using the `include` field. If you also specify the `include`
# field, the files/patterns specified here are filtered from the files matched by `include`. See the [Configuration
# Files guide](https://docs.garden.io/using-garden/configuration-overview#including-excluding-files-and-directories)

`local`

If set to true, Garden will run the build command, services, tests, and tasks in the module source directory, instead of in the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/).

Garden will therefore not stage the build for local modules. This means that include/exclude filters and ignore files are not applied to local modules, except to calculate the module/action versions.

If you use use build.dependencies[].copy for one or more build dependencies of this module, the copied files will be copied to the module source directory (instead of the build directory, as is the default case when local = false).

Note: This maps to the buildAtSource option in this module's generated Build action (if any).

`disabled`

Set this to true to disable the module. You can use this with conditional template strings to disable modules based on, for example, the current environment or other variables (e.g. disabled: ${environment.name == "prod"}). This can be handy when you only need certain modules for specific environments, e.g. only for development.

Disabling a module means that any services, tasks and tests contained in it will not be deployed or run. It also means that the module is not built unless it is declared as a build dependency by another enabled module (in which case building this module is necessary for the dependant to be built).

If you disable the module, and its services, tasks or tests are referenced as runtime dependencies, Garden will automatically ignore those dependency declarations. Note however that template strings referencing the module's service or task outputs (i.e. runtime outputs) will fail to resolve when the module is disabled, so you need to make sure to provide alternate values for those if you're using them, using conditional expressions.

`include[]`

Specify a list of POSIX-style paths or globs that should be regarded as the source files for this module. Files that do not match these paths or globs are excluded when computing the version of the module, when responding to filesystem watch events, and when staging builds.

Note that you can also exclude files using the exclude field or by placing .gardenignore files in your source tree, which use the same format as .gitignore files. See the Configuration Files guide for details.

Also note that specifying an empty list here means no sources should be included.

Type Required

`array[posixPath]`	No

array[posixPath]

Example:

include:
  - Dockerfile

`exclude[]`

Specify a list of POSIX-style paths or glob patterns that should be excluded from the module. Files that match these paths or globs are excluded when computing the version of the module, when responding to filesystem watch events, and when staging builds.

Note that you can also explicitly include files using the include field. If you also specify the include field, the files/patterns specified here are filtered from the files matched by include. See the Configuration Files guide for details.

Unlike the scan.exclude field in the project config, the filters here have no effect on which files and directories are watched for changes. Use the project scan.exclude field to affect those, if you have large directories that should not be watched for changes.

`services[].syncMode.command[]`

services > syncMode > command

The command to run to deploy the service in sync mode. When in sync mode, Garden assumes that the command starts a persistent process and does not wait for it return. The logs from the process can be retrieved via the garden logs command as usual.

If a statusCommand is set, Garden will wait until it returns a zero exit code before considering the service ready. Otherwise it considers the service immediately ready.

By default, the command is run inside the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/). If the top level local directive is set to true, the command runs in the module source directory instead.

`services[].syncMode.statusCommand[]`

services > syncMode > statusCommand

Optionally set a command to check the status of the service in sync mode. Garden will run the status command at an interval until it returns a zero exit code or times out.

If no statusCommand is set, Garden will consider the service ready as soon as it has started the process.

By default, the command is run inside the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/). If the top level local directive is set to true, the command runs in the module source directory instead.

`tasks[].disabled`

tasks > disabled

Set this to true to disable the task. You can use this with conditional template strings to enable/disable tasks based on, for example, the current environment or other variables (e.g. enabled: ${environment.name != "prod"}). This can be handy when you only want certain tasks to run in specific environments, e.g. only for development.

Disabling a task means that it will not be run, and will also be ignored if it is declared as a runtime dependency for another service, test or task.

Note however that template strings referencing the task's outputs (i.e. runtime outputs) will fail to resolve when the task is disabled, so you need to make sure to provide alternate values for those if you're using them, using conditional expressions.
