=====================================================================

Big day! V4 is finally live. This INCLUDES some BREAKING CHANGES to ZSH
TYPE scwrypts! Please refer to the readme for upgrade details
                     (more specifically docs/upgrade/v3-to-v4.md)

Upgrade is SUPER EASY, so please take the time to do so.

--- New Features ----------------------------------------------------

- zsh type scwrypts have an upgraded runstring to improve context setup
  and simplicity to the scwrypt-writer

- scwrypts now publishes the package (scwrypts) to PyPi; this provides a
  simple way to invoke scwrypts from python-based environments as well
  as the entire scwrypts python library suite

  pip install scwrypts

- scwrypts now publishes the package (scwrypts) to npm; this provides a
  simple way to invoke scwrypts from nodesjs environments

  npm install scwrypts

--- Bug Fixes -------------------------------------------------------

- scwrypts runner prompts which use the zshbuiltin "read" now
  appropriately read input from tty, pipe, files, and user input

- virtualenv refresh now loads and prepares the scwrypts virtual
  environments correctly

--- Changes ---------------------------------------------------------

- created the (-v, --log-level) scwrypts arguments as improvements of
  and replacements to the --verbose and --no-log flags
     - (-n) is now an alias for (--log-level 0)
     - (--no-log) is the same as (-n) for compatibility, but will be removed in 4.2

- zsh/lib/utils/io print functions now *interact with log-level* various
  log levels will now only display the appropriate console prints for
  the specified log level

- zsh/lib/utils/io:INFO has been renamed to DEBUG to align with
  log-level output; please use DEBUG for debug messages and REMINDER for
  important user messages

- created zsh/lib/utils/io:FZF_USER_INPUT as a *drop-in replacement* for
  the confusing FZF_HEAD and FZF_TAIL commands. Update by literally
  changing any instances of FZF_HEAD or FZF_TAIL with FZF_USER_INPUT
     - FZF_HEAD and FZF_TAIL will be removed in 4.2

- zsh/lib/utils/io:READ (and other zshbuiltin/read-based prompts) now
  accept a --force-user-input flag in case important checks should
  require an admin's approval. This flag will ensure that piped input
  and the `scwrypts -y` flag are ignored for the single prompt.

- zsh/lib/utils/color has been updated to use color names which match
  the ANSI color names

- zsh/hello-world has been reduced to a minimal example; this is to
  emphasize ease-of-use with v4

- zsh/sanity-check is a scwrypts/run testing helper and detailed
  starting reference (helpful since hello-world is now minimal)

- various refactor, updates, and improvements to the scwrypts runner

- migrated all zsh scwrypts and plugins to use v4 runner syntax
     - zsh
     - plugins/kubectl
     - plugins/ci

- refactored py/lib into py/lib/scwrypts (PyPi)

Scwrypts (Wryn + Scripts)

Scwrypts is a friendly CLI / API for quickly running sandboxed scripts in the terminal.

In modern developer / dev-ops workflows, scripts require a complex configurations. Without a better solution, the developer is cursed to copy lines-upon-lines of variables into terminals, create random text artifacts, or maybe even commit secure credentials into source. Scwrypts leverages ZSH to give hot-key access to run scripts in such environments.

Major Version Upgrade Notice

Please refer to Version 3 to Version 4 Upgrade Path when upgrading from scwrypts v3 to scwrypts v4!

Dependencies

Due to the wide variety of resources used by scripting libraries, the user is expected to manually resolve dependencies. Dependencies are lazy-loaded, and more information can be found by command error messages or in the appropriate README.

Because Scwrypts relies on Scwrypts (see Meta Scwrypts), zsh must be installed and junegunn/fzf must be available on your PATH.

Usage

Install Scwrypts by cloning this repository and sourcing scwrypts.plugin.zsh in your zshrc. You can now run Scwrypts using the ZLE hotkey bound to SCWRYPTS_SHORTCUT (default CTRL + W).

% cd <path-to-cloned-repo>
% echo "source $(pwd)/scwrypts.plugin.zsh >> $HOME/.zshrc"

Check out Meta Scwrypts to quickly set up environments and adjust configuration.

No Install / API Usage

Alternatively, the scwrypts API can be used directly:

./scwrypts [--env environment-name] (...script-name-patterns...) [-- ...passthrough arguments... ]

Given one or more script patterns, Scwrypts will filter the commands by pattern conjunction. If only one command is found which matches the pattern(s), it will immediately begin execution. If multiple commands match, the user will be prompted to select from the filtered list. Of course, if no commands match, Scwrypts will exit with an error.

Given no script patterns, Scwrypts becomes an interactive CLI, prompting the user to select a command.

After determining which script to run, if no environment has been specified, Scwrypts prompts the user to choose one.

Using in CI/CD or Automated Workflows

Set environment variable CI=true (and use the no install method) to run in an automated pipeline. There are a few notable changes to this runtime:

  • The Scwrypts sandbox environment will not load. All variables will be read from context.
  • User yes/no prompts will always be YES
  • Other user input will default to an empty string
  • Logs will not be captured
  • Setting the environment variable SCWRYPTS_GROUP_LOADER__[a-z_]\+ will source the file indicated in the variable (this allows custom groups without needing to modify the config.zsh directly)
    • In GitHub actions, *.scwrypts.zsh groups are detected automatically from the $GITHUB_WORKSPACE; set SCWRYPTS_GITHUB_NO_AUTOLOAD=true to disable
