Example of exec without streaming to STDIO

This example captures the values from stdout and stderr without relaying to the console. This means the values can be inspected and used for automation.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	execute "github.com/alexellis/go-execute/pkg/v1"
)

func main() {
	cmd := execute.ExecTask{
		Command:     "docker",
		Args:        []string{"version"},
		StreamStdio: false,
	}

	res, err := cmd.Execute()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	if res.ExitCode != 0 {
		panic("Non-zero exit code: " + res.Stderr)
	}

	fmt.Printf("stdout: %s, stderr: %s, exit-code: %d\n", res.Stdout, res.Stderr, res.ExitCode)
}

Example with "shell" and exit-code 0

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	execute "github.com/alexellis/go-execute/pkg/v1"
)

func main() {
	ls := execute.ExecTask{
		Command: "ls",
		Args:    []string{"-l"},
		Shell:   true,
	}
	res, err := ls.Execute()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("stdout: %q, stderr: %q, exit-code: %d\n", res.Stdout, res.Stderr, res.ExitCode)
}

Example with "shell" and exit-code 1

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	execute "github.com/alexellis/go-execute/pkg/v1"
)

func main() {
	ls := execute.ExecTask{
		Command: "exit 1",
		Shell:   true,
	}
	res, err := ls.Execute()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("stdout: %q, stderr: %q, exit-code: %d\n", res.Stdout, res.Stderr, res.ExitCode)
}
