Multiple endpoint in same ain file

[mikhi-nde]

Hi. hope you are fine. :)

Is there a way to run the same query on multiple endpoint for example:

curl -XDELETE http://elastisearch.local/index_1 curl -XDELETE http://elastisearch.local/index_2 curl -XDELETE http://elastisearch.local/index_3

btw. thank you for this awesome tool.

Hi, thanks for your kind words!

Not sure I'm following - do you mean having several url:s in the same file? Or do you mean re-using all but the {1,2,3} in the url?

A week without any interaction means closing. Re-open if you're still interested.

Hello @jonaslu

I was busy lately.

I mean having several urls in the same file, in the [host] section

No problems...

The focus of ain is one URL per invocation. The problem with several URLs in the same file is when you combine that file with more files using ains cascading features. If there is two urls in the first file, then how do I know how to combine the rest of the [Host]` sections in the succeding files? I've not yet come up with a decent solution for this that's not overly complex.

It's fairly easy to script around invoking it several times, in your specific case you could do something like:

$> cat base.ain
[Host]
http://elastisearch.local/index_${INDEX}

[Method]
DELETE

[Backend]
curl

for i in {1..3}; do INDEX=$i ain -p base.ain; done

You could even generalize have all the URLs in a separate file and using xargs:

$> cat base.ain
[Host]
${URL}

[Method]
DELETE

[Backend]
curl

cat urls.txt | xargs -I% bash -c 'URL=%; ain -p base.ain'
