Command APIο
Warning
This feature is experimental and subject to breaking changes. See the Conan stability section for more information.
Warning
Subapis must not be initialized by themselves. They are intended to be accessed only through the main ConanAPI attributes.
- class CommandAPI(conan_api)ο
This CommandAPI is useful to be able to launch full commands from the ConanAPI
Sometimes some commands are built using several calls to the ConanAPI. If we want to reuse the same functionality, then we would have to copy all that code into our own commands. Instead of doing that, it is possible to call Conan commands using this API, via the
run()method.- run(cmd)ο
Runs another Conan command via API
- Parameters:
cmd β Conan command to run. It can be either a string, or a list of strings.
- Returns:
It will return what that command returns. Note that different commands can return different things, so the caller needs to process it accordingly.
