Running Bash, Python or any external script

TOC

Groovy allows execution of external commands, i.e. any command or program that can be run from the shell command line, using a simple syntax like

["cmd", "arg1", "arg2"].execute()

For more please see Groovy Process Management

Example

Lets say we have a script called dosomestuff.py that takes a single argument 1

To run this from a glue workflow we do:

tasks{
    process{
        tasks = { context ->
            ["python", "dosomestuff.py", "1"].execute()
        }
    }
}
