Envoy for local build script?

Can Envoy be used for a local build script instead of a remote server deploy script? ANy examples? I haven't been able to get this to work for some reason or another....variables dont get recognized, and @setup never gets called.


@servers(['web' => 'localhost'])

@setup
    $dir = "/Users/kp/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_" . date('YmdHis')
@endsetup

@story('local')
    clone_repository
@endstory

@task('clone_repository')
    echo "/Users/kp/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_" . date('YmdHis');

    echo "-- Done --"
@endtask

Output:

$ envoy run local
[localhost]: sh: -c: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[localhost]: sh: -c: line 5: `echo "/Users/kp/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_" . date('YmdHis');'
[✗] This task did not complete successfully on one of your servers.

You're using php on the command line. You're mixing things up. So instead you want something like this

@task('clone_repository')
    echo /Users/kp/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_ {{ date('YmdHis') }}
@endtask

This should work.

You don't see anything happening in your @setup method since it's only assigning a variable!

Thanks @bobbybouwmann

#1 your suggestion for the echo on my local Macbook worked: echo /Users/kp/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_ {{ date('YmdHis') }}

Just is a bit strange because this version worked fine (on a remote server) with echo "/Users/kp/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_" . date('YmdHis'); I guess different OS?

#2 Focusing on running this on my local Mac again, How do I set variables? My point with @ setup was that the variables set there are not visible within the @ task

@setup
    $dir = "/Users/kunalpunjabi/Code/_tmpbuilds/build_" . date('YmdHis')
@endsetup

@story('local')
    clone_repository
@endstory

@task('clone_repository')
    echo "mydir:" $dir
    echo "-- Done --"
@endtask

THis outputs:

$ envoy run local
[localhost]: mydir:
[localhost]: -- Done --

You can only pass variables using the command line as far as I know: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/envoy#variables

Maybe you can set a global variable using php?

$dir = 'something';

@story('local')
clone_repository
@endstory

Note: I haven't tried this myself!

Thanks!

Turns out the answer is that you have to use the blade syntax, like {{ $dir }}
