bash-modules VS yq

Bash is turing-complete, so it's possible to write automated test cases in bash. Example: https://github.com/vlisivka/bash-modules/blob/master/bash-mo...

Template in article is awful. It's better to use this one, which is a real CLI tool: https://github.com/vlisivka/bash-modules/blob/master/bash-mo...

IMHO, you are mixing TODO lists and task management/planning software. No, I don't know a good task manager or business process manager for command line. Instead, I created a simpler TODO list manager, called `td`[0], which supports flat TODO lists only, and use directories and command-line generators to manage todo's. `td` prints top item only, by default, leaving little room for procrastination. I'm keeping one `TODO.md` file per project instead of one large TODO file for all todo's.

I'm preparing to release bash-modules 4.0 [0]. Can you give me feedback, please? I'm a non-native English speaker, so I need someone to help fix spelling mistakes, at least.

It works in my shell. :-/ It looks like you forgot to insert `false` command.

You are pointing to the problem with -e not working in subshell/deep functions, because of POSIX. Right? It's described in bash documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Bu...

> I think just defining a die() function and using it after any command that must succeed is more verbose, but less error prone:

Yep. It's the style I developed 12 years ago, when working at Bazaarvoice, when I was lead of devops team. I created the whole library for bash, to use this pattern consistently. See https://github.com/vlisivka/bash-modules#error-handling

What I often use to just get the full key paths is yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq), piping into grep when necessary

  yq -o=props

I've been trying to install and config a plugin (papis.nvim) for a couple of days and am having issues with a function that uses io.popen to run yq to convert yaml files to json. I know my install of yq is fine- I can run yq -oj info.yaml from the command line with no issue and it produces the correct json output. I know the function can find the yq executable, but it returns nil. I've saved the error from the yq golang code: panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

- yq has no if-then-else https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/95 which is a poor design (or omission) in my opinion

After which, I use openapi-generator to make a yaml output.

- yq version 3.4.1 (Worth noting, the example uses an out of date yq, so a few modifictaions might be needed)

jq is awesome and thanks to the new team for their recent efforts and energy, it massively appreciated.

For anyone looking for such a script, there's some CLIs that make it easy. One is `yq -o props` [1], another way is to use `yq -j` or `yj` [2] to convert to JSON and pipe it to `gron` [3].
