Actions

Actions will be run on every bw apply. They differ from regular items in that they cannot be "correct" in the first place. They can only succeed or fail.

actions = {
    'check_if_its_still_linux': {
        'command': "uname",
        'expected_return_code': 0,
        'expected_stdout': "Linux\n",
    },
}

Attribute reference

See also: The list of generic builtin item attributes

command

The only required attribute. This is the command that will be run on the node with root privileges.

data_stdin

You can pipe data directly to the command running on the node. To do so, use this attribute. If it's a string or unicode object, it will always be encoded as UTF-8. Alternatively, you can use raw bytes.

expected_return_code

Defaults to 0. If the return code of your command is anything else, the action is considered failed. You can also specify a list, set or tuple and the action is considered failed if the command's return code is not contained in that enumeration. You can also set this to None and any return code will be accepted.

expected_stdout

If this is given, the stdout output of the command must match the given string or the action is considered failed.

expected_stderr

Same as expected_stdout, but with stderr.

interactive

If set to True, this action will be skipped in non-interactive mode. If set to False, this action will always be executed without asking (even in interactive mode). Defaults to None.
