Usage

The scikit-ci command line executable allows to execute commands associated with steps described in a scikit-ci configuration file.

Executing scikit-ci steps

Invoking scikit-ci will execute all steps listed in a scikit-ci configuration file:

ci

This command executes in order the steps listed below:

• before_install
• install
• before_build
• build
• test
• after_test

It also possible to execute a given step and its dependent steps:

ci build

In that case, the executed steps will be:

• before_install
• install
• before_build
• build

Note

Remember that:

• steps are executed following a specific ordering
• scikit-ci keeps track of previously executed steps.
• environment variables set in step(n) will be available in step(n+1). For more details, see Environment variable persistence

Calling scikit-ci through python -m ci

You can invoke scikit-ci through the Python interpreter from the command line:

python -m ci [...]

This is equivalent to invoking the command line script ci [...] directly.
