Some useful library tasks that can simplify your life.

ShellTask

ShellTask can be used to run any shell command. stdout and stderr is forwarded to the task log.

cowait.tasks.shell.ShellTask

Returns: shell command return code (integer)

async def MyTask():
    await ShellTask(command='ls')

ContainerTask

ContainerTask can be used to launch and monitor any Docker container. This can be useful for setting up side-car containers. Container logs are forwarded to the task log.

async def MyTask():
    await ContainerTask(
      name="mongodb-task"
      image="mongo"
    )

# Example using the CLI
cowait run cowait.tasks.container --input name="mongodb-task" -i image=mongo
