Scripts

A script is a command-line executable command that can be run by Meteor during command processes.

Events​

  • patch.pre-apply
  • patch.post-apply
  • patch.pre-rollback
  • patch.post-rollback

Configuration​

Scripts are configured in the meteor.json config file.

{
    "scripts": {
        "hello": "say -v Ralph 'Hello world'"
    }
}

Each script must have a unique name and a command-line executable command. If required an array of commands can also be provided.

When scripts are executed with the run command the current working directory set as the --working-dir option value. However, when scripts are executed with the patch:apply or patch:rollback commands then the --install-dir option value is used as the current working directory instead.

Multiple scripts can be run for an event:

{
    "scripts": {
        "patch.post-apply": ["@clear-cache", "@rebuild-htaccess"],
    }
}

Referencing scripts​

To enable script re-use and avoid duplication, scripts can be referenced from another script by prefixing the name with an @ symbol.

{
    "scripts": {
        "patch.post-apply": "@clear-cache",
        "clear-cache": "clear-cache.sh"
    }
}
