Bevy Local Commands

Bevy plugin to manage local shell commands.

Usage

Add the plugin:

// ...
.add_plugins(BevyLocalCommandsPlugin)
// ...

Run shell commands:

fn run_command(mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn(LocalCommand::new("bash").args(["-c", "sleep 1 && echo slept"]));
}

See commands started and kill running commands:

fn kill_started_command(mut active_processes: Query<&mut Process>) {
    for mut process in active_processes.iter_mut() {
        warn!("Killing process {}", process.id());
        process.kill().unwrap();
    }
}

Receive command output:

fn get_command_output(mut process_output_event: EventReader<ProcessOutput>) {
    for output in process_output_event.read() {
        info!("Output for command {:?}", output.entity);

        for line in output.lines() {
            info!("Line Output: {}", line);
        }
    }
}

Send command input:

fn send_command_input(
    mut process_output_event: EventReader<ProcessOutput>,
    mut active_processes: Query<&mut Process>,
) {
    for output in process_output_event.read() {
        for line in output.lines() {
            if line.ends_with("Prompt String: ") {
                let mut process = active_processes.get_mut(output.entity).unwrap();
                process.println("Text to send").expect("Failed to write to process");
            }
        }
    }
}

See commands completed:

fn get_completed(mut process_completed_event: EventReader<ProcessCompleted>) {
    for completed in process_completed_event.read() {
        info!(
            "Command completed (Entity - {}, Success - {})",
            completed.entity,
            completed.exit_status.success()
        );
    }
}

Retry and cleanup behavior:

fn retries_and_cleanup_on_completion(mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn((
        LocalCommand::new("bash").args(["-c", "sleep 1 && invalid-command --that=fails"]),
        // Attempt the command 3 times before giving up
        // NOTE: The Retry component will be removed from the entity when no retries are left
        Retry::Attempts(3)
        // Cleanup::DespawnEntity will despawn the entity upon process completion.
        // Cleanup::RemoveComponents will remove this crate's components upon process completion.
        Cleanup::DespawnEntity
    ));
}

• Mac testing (not sure if it works yet)
