DESCRIPTION

Run arbitrary commands and code at various Dist::Zilla phases.

PARAMETERS

run

Run the specific command at the specific Dist::Zilla phase given by the plugin. For example, "[Run::Release]" runs during the release phase.

run_if_trial

Only run the given command if this is a trial build or release.

run_no_trial

Only run the given command if this isn't a trial build or release.

run_if_release

Only run the given command if this is a release.

run_no_release

Only run a given command if this isn't a release.

eval (EXPERIMENTAL)

Treats the input as a list of lines of Perl code; the code is evaluated at the specific Dist::Zilla phase given by the plugin. The code is executed in its own "eval" scope, within a subroutine body; @_ contains the instance of the plugin executing the code. (Remember that "shift" in an "eval" actually operates on @ARGV, not @_, so to access the plugin instance, use $_[0].)

censor_commands

Normally, "run*" commands are included in distribution metadata when used with the [MetaConfig] plugin. To bypass this, set "censor_commands = 1". Additionally, this command is set to true automatically when a URL with embedded password is present.

Defaults to false.

fatal_errors

When true, if the "run" command returns a non-zero exit status or the "eval" command dies, the build will fail. Defaults to true.

quiet

When true, diagnostic messages are not printed (except in "--verbose" mode).

Defaults to false.

EXECUTION ORDER

All commands for a given option name are executed together, in the order in which they are documented above. Within commands of the same option name, order is preserved (from the order provided in dist.ini).

CONVERSIONS

The following conversions/format specifiers are defined for passing as arguments to the specified commands and eval strings (though not all values are available at all phases).
  • %a the archive of the release (available to all *Release phases)
  • %d the directory in which the distribution was built (or minted) (not in "BeforeBuild")
  • %n the distribution name
  • %p path separator ('/' on Unix, '\\' on Win32... useful for cross-platform dist.ini files)
  • %v the distribution version
  • %t "-TRIAL" if the release is a trial release, otherwise the empty string
  • %x full path to the current perl interpreter (like $^X but from Config)

Additionally %s is retained for backward compatibility (for those plugins that existed when it was documented). Each occurrence is replaced by a different value (like the regular "sprintf" function). Individual plugins define their own values for the positional replacement of %s.

NOTE: when using filenames (e.g. %d, %n and %x), be mindful that these paths could contain special characters or whitespace, so if they are to be used in a shell command, take care to use quotes or escapes!

DANGER! SECURITY RISK!

The very nature of these plugins is to execute code. Be mindful that your code may run on someone else's machine and don't be a jerk!
