I have a bash command that is as below:
($(echo my-profiles --my-profiles pytest))
The above bash command returns an array from the python script as below:
['mock-alchemy', 'pytest-mock', 'pytest-datafixtures', 'pytest-describe', 'pytest-unordered', 'requests-mock']
From the answer of this example, I am accessing the return values as below:
dependencies=($(echo /path/to/my-script.py --my-profiles pytest}))
When I access the return values from dependencies
, I get the following results:
> echo ${dependencies[0]}
my-profiles
How can I get 'mock-alchemy'
instead of the above result?
My python script is as follows:
my-script.py
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='My script')
parser.add_argument('--tox-profiles', dest="profiles",
type=str,
default='')
parsed_args = parser.parse_args()
dependencies = get_dependencies(args.profiles)
def get_dependencies(profiles):
return ['mock-alchemy', 'pytest-mock', 'pytest-datafixtures', 'pytest-describe', 'pytest-unordered', 'requests-mock']
($(echo my-profiles --my-profiles pytest))
(... )
execute a subshell. Then $(... )
executes echo
. Command echo
outputs my-profiles --my-profiles pytest
. Then the result of $(...)
undergoes word splitting expansion and my-profiles --my-profiles pytest
is split into 3 words my-profiles
--my-profiles
pytest
. Then the result of splitting is like "rescanned" and becomes a new command to execute, so my-profiles
is executed. Which actually outputs the output of your program.
This is all convoluted. Just run my-profiles --my-profiles pytest
, what is echo
doing there?
dependencies=($(echo my-profiles --my-profiles pytest))
dependencies=(... )
is an array assignment. First, $(...)
is replaced by the output of command inside. echo my-profiles --my-profiles pytest
outputs my-profiles --my-profiles pytest
. Then the result my-profiles --my-profiles pytest
is word split, and becomes 3 words, which are assigned each to a separate array element.
How can I get 'mock-alchemy' instead of the above result?
You should output the data from your tool in machine-readable format if you intent to use them by machines. Because they are quite easy, you could output for example space separated data.
def get_dependencies(profiles):
return ' '.join([
'mock-alchemy', 'pytest-mock', 'pytest-datafixtures', 'pytest-describe', 'pytest-unordered', 'requests-mock'
])
# actually print it too!
print(get_dependencies(None))
Then you could read space separated values in bash:
output=$(my-profiles --my-profiles pytest)
IFS=' ' read -r -a arr <<<"$output"
declare -p arr
echo "${arr[0]}"
