Lane Variables

Actions can communicate with each other using a shared hash lane_context, that can be accessed in other actions, plugins or your lanes: lane_context[SharedValues:XYZ]. The ssh action generates the following Lane Variables:

SharedValue Description
SharedValues::SSH_STDOUT_VALUE Holds the standard output of all commands
SharedValues::SSH_STDERR_VALUE Holds the standard error of all commands

To get more information check the Lanes documentation.


Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

pantograph action ssh

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Pantfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

pantograph run ssh

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

pantograph run ssh parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all pantograph actions you use to your Pantfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of pantograph, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
