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_no_trial

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

run_if_trial

Only run the given command if this is 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.

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 dist was built (or minted) (not in BeforeBuild)

  • %n the dist name

  • %p path separator ('/' on Unix, '\\' on Win32... useful for cross-platform dist.ini files)

  • %v the dist 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. 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.
