Command Dependency Checker

Monteur supplies a built-in dependency checker for command line's program. This checks the availability of the program for use in the operating system.

Purpose

The checker main purpose is to ensure a command line's program is readily available for use. This is useful for building CI Job recipe that integrates third-party programs' interactions like git, exec, bash and etc.

Data Structure

The data structure for command line checker is as follows:

1
2
3
4
5


[[Dependencies]]
Name = 'Git Version Control Software for Changelog Generations'
Condition = 'all-all'
Type = 'command'
Command = 'git'

Name
1. COMPULSORY.
2. Maily used for identification, logging, and referencing purposes.
3. Available since Montuer Version v0.0.1.
Condition
1. COMPULSORY.
2. The list of supported Platform ID where the commands shall be executed when Monteur is opreating on the matching operating system.
3. Should all-all is used, it will overwrite all platform ID for both specified and unspecified ones due to its always true nature.
4. Available since Montuer Version v0.0.1.
Type
1. COMPULSORY.
2. Set to "command".
3. Available since Montuer Version v0.0.1.
Command
1. COMPULSORY.
2. The terminal command to invoke the dependency.
3. Available since Montuer Version v0.0.1.

[[Dependencies]]
Name = 'Git Version Control Software for Changelog Generations'
Condition = 'all-all'
Type = 'command'
Command = 'git'


[[Dependencies]]
Name = 'cURL for API calls'
Condition = 'all-all'
Type = 'command'
Command = 'curl'


[[Dependencies]]
Name = 'BASH for local executions'
Condition = 'linux-amd64'
Type = 'command'
Command = 'bash'

...

The above will instruct Monteur to always check for git and curl in every operating system while only check for bash when operating on linux kernel and amd64 CPU operating system.
