Run Shell Commands

Script Kit bundles zx as the global $

Example from their docs (make sure to cd to the proper dir)

await $`cat package.json | grep name`

let branch = await $`git branch --show-current`
await $`dep deploy --branch=${branch}`

await Promise.all([
  $`sleep 1; echo 1`,
  $`sleep 2; echo 2`,
  $`sleep 3; echo 3`,
])

let name = "foo bar"
await $`mkdir /tmp/${name}`

@johnlindquist merry Christmas!

I've realised that, somehow, I can't run NPM and CD from the app but I can on the terminal via the kit binary, is this expected?

I'm building something that helps me release packages on https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins. I've managed to get it working but only on the terminal. It's more than enough but happy to debug something if it helps Scriptkit move forward.

Did you see this?

[Antonio-Laguna]

Seems that I missed that! Thanks for pointing at this. Got solved

[alexrqs]

Was trying it but didn't work, anything I'm missing here?

[johnlindquist]

@alexrqs I'm not near a computer today to debug, but this should accomplish the same thing:

~/.kit/bin/kit set-env-var PATH ${process.env.PATH}

The end goal is the ~/.kenv/.env has a

PATH="Your $PATH from the terminal"

Does that make sense?
