Is there a replacement for Test command?

[iilyak]

New version removes test/fail/ok. Is there any replacement?

Fail and Ok should both be there ... if they are not working let me know.

Regarding test ... that is not a current component. I thought about adding test back in but ultimately every time I've used test, it was better suited to create a new task with ok/fail

[iilyak]

I have a following case:

ssh.keys:
  summary: Generate ssh keys
  command: bla bla

other.task:
   test: #check if ./ssh.public.key exists
   summary: Do something usefull
   command: bla bla

The user would normally use other.task. I want it to complain and return error which would inform user that he needs to run ssh.keys command once. With ok/fail solution ssh.keys would know about other.task.

I'll try to use checkpoints or setup for this, not sure if it would work.

Heh. This is actually the exact use case when I created the test component originally. However, over time I found that using commands that would fail ultimately was cleaner.

So ... an easy fix for your use case.

other.task:
   summary: Do something usefull
   commands: |
      cat ~/.ssh/public.key #or something else useful ... you can use `test`, or `ls` or other things
      bla bla
